Smoked Taillights
#3
a few people on the site have done it but I havent seen any pics. When I made this same thread about 4 months ago I was told the best option is to remove the taillights then buy some tail light smoke (from pep boys I think?) and spray some inside the lights.

Hmm, though I like smoked tails on other cars, I don't really care for them on 8's. I really like the stock lights on the 8, even though for years I've hated the euro style taillights. Does anyone have a pic of a red 8 with smoked tails though?

Thanks for the reply guys, and i like that ms8 pete... looks very nice... i love how the taillights look on the 8, but was just curious as my buddy has an SL55 black with his smoked, and it looks really nice..

Yah, I've been wanting to do this to my tailights for a few months now. One option is to use a spray (forgot the name) and coat the inside of the tailight. I would love to see any black 8 owners who have done this mod already.

they cant be illegal in california as the SL 55 AMG comes stock with smoked taillights and the brabus dealer in newport sells only black benz and all their SL's have their taillights smoked..
so i think we are in the clear..

I wish you were right but you are wrong
its legal if the car comes stock with it but if you change it then it is illegal
sucks

When driving at night, you can't tell at all. During the day, depending on the time and the amount and angle of sunlight, it's pretty obvious.
And yes, illegal.
I've had cops right on my tail many times and they have not stopped me for it, but they sure could if they wanted to.
