That is a good question!

I have not heard of one. However, you can smoke it yourself!

One way to do it is to use a tint. 3m and their competitors offer smoked versions of their auto-protection films. This is the same clear stuff that they stick to bumpers and headlights to prevent rock chips.

You can also use paint somehow, I think you would need some kind of semitransparent stuff.

Re: Lights

I dont want to use any paint and do you think that the tint would stay on the light with all of the elemants? do you know if the 3m comes in other colors?

I know for sure the 3m type stuff comes in clear and in several levels of dark/tint.

There are other companies who make it too, not just 3m.

It is very sticky - as I mentioned, it is made to go on the FRONTS of cars to protect from rock chips and the elements. Trust me it won't come off! I had it on the front of my Jetta for a year and even spraying it at the power wash won't lift the edge.

It may come in other exotic colours too but I wouldn't know how to find out.

Re: Lights

i have the 3m stuff on the frot too and it good to prevent rock chips on the hood i had it put on when i got the car at scfc. another question do you know how the side lights come off? do the lenses just pop off or is there screws from the back? i am talking about the side markers and signals

Re: Lights

The side markers on the bumper come off very easilly. You push them into the bumper by just applying pressure, they are held in place by a spring!

The side markers under the mirrors are harder to change. I don't know how.

Re: Lights

i dunno cool idea but just tint your window and it'll darken it i think.. maybe not i dunno lol

Re: Lights

all my windows are tinted already. i know that i can get the signals through vw or tuner works for about 50 dollarsa set. i seen a car that had it done and it looked good it was a nice contrast. my car is silver i think it would look good

Re: Lights

Anything is better than amber sidemarkers. I like red/clear combos on Silver more than smoked. Only black gets the smoked treatment... possibly platinum grey too.
