Installed these to replace a 4 year old aftermarket set that started to yellow and craze.

Before installing, I upgraded the finish with 4 coats of UV stabilizing acrylic to extend longevity.
 






Looks good. Does the smoke lower the amount of light?
 






Thanks! Likely, but not as much as the faded and crazed ones did.
