Been looking everywhere for a set of smoked preface tails. Not the Startech ones, the uniform-smoked ones that would match the average smoked side and front indicators.

I bought a set from a guy breaking some purple abomination on here quite a while back (over a year), but can't get ahold of him. And now I can't seem to find any like it online. Most are red and smoke/red and clear.

Anyone have a lead to point me in the right direction?

No idea what you're talking about as the only ones I've ever seen are the Startec ones?! :?

custom made ones? standard rear lights smoked properly?

I used to tint lights for people all the time
I'll check with the manager

Must have been custom, or aftermarket. There wasn't a difference in shades where the reverse light/indicators are (slighty lighter/yellow under the tint). Just a solid dark grey. Imagine I'd have to get the chrome-looking amber lightbulbs for the indicators.
