Yea I'm not a fan of smoked tails either. My sig shows my car having them on, however, I have since taken them off and think the stock look is much cleaner and better looking

So long as they are not TOO dark, I think they look great!

On my 2007, I had the whole light smoked (Sprayed). On my 2008, I just have the clear portion (turn signal) of the tails tinted (film). I prefer the clear portion, after doing both. The other is just too dark.
As you can see on my sig, I did the same to my X5 as well. However, that's Spray, not film. Very tedious process on the X.

Got mine tinted with film. Cost me $120. I tried some tint film from ebay and tried to tint it myself. But I find it difficult getting around that bump on the tail light.
