Go to articles, tech articles and you will find an article i wrote on how to do DIY smoked lights for sod all money and little bit of messing in yer garage. Otherwise check for sale section of e-bay.


If you want to go the DIY route PM me if you need any pointers, or send me your lights (to Bahrain) about 100squid and ill do em for ya in about two weeks and then send em back to ya (if you pay the shipping) in otherwords not viable.

DIY smoked on the right of course!

If anyone like DIY jobs i can tell how to make smoked headlights (so far i've figured out only how to create the outer lamps), as well as installing angel eyes. If interested pm please.
