I think its dumb to smoke the fog lights cause then whats the point on having them. Afterall the blackheads just have a a black outline the lense isnt smoke. Thats just my two cents....

looks like fair enough light output to me and i would only do a dark grey, not a full black, im planning on doing an anthracite accent to the car, since i have those damn rims sitting around still, not black so it would work out

Who said smoked bulbs? I was saying aftermarket as in Silverstar or PIAA so it'll be brighter with the smoked housing.

I have a question for those who have used the tinted film. I was thinking of matching the blacked out jdm headlights and corners. However I want to know what % tint should be used to match them. On the site I noticed they have 17% and also 30%. ....I am not worried by the way about light output as I just want them blacked out for looks.
