blacking out or smoking bumper lights

ok so im going to be the proud owner of YESCA's headlights. as a little insight into my "plans", im doing away with the front lip and doin a full kit color matched and since i got rid of the rear black SE pannel, theres gonna be alot of red. so the lights will add back the black/red balance somewhat.

to further that theme i need to either balck out or smoke the bumper lights. i know how to smoke them but my big concerns there are visibility. has anyone smoked theirs or have any advice and how would yall suggest i attempt to black out the housing if smoked isnt the best rout?

im also tryin to think of other things to balance the balck. any ideas are great(other then the grille, i got that covered).

thanks

as long as the turn signals are still visible then yeah. MD cares more about red or blue lights then smoked. yea im gonna try to keep the fogs as long as they will still fit. prolly smoke thoes too. its the razzi front lip you can see it here.

As for balancing the red and black you could always paint your rub strips black; just my .02.

i have smoked lights on my gen 5...one of the best things ive done to the car, visibility is absolutely fine as long as you get the good smoke paint. I have mine really dark and you can see the lights just fine, day and night. DO IT!!! lol I would upload a pic, but dont have an image host to do it
