Wondering if any aftermarket ones are available - thought about tinted or smoked but not sure where to start looking.

And does anyone have pictures of a Med. Wedgewood Blue EB with either done :D

Thanks

For taillights, most people just tint their own using some products (nightshade, etc?) at Pep Boys or Vato Zone, or whatever. Personally, I don't like the look hen done that way (too dark). A better way to do tails would be to have them sprayed with a very lightly tinted clearcoat. A good paint shop can do this. They won't be as dark that way. It's just personal preference, of course.

As for headlights, there are some available with black housings. they look tinted. You can get the corners with black housings and either white or amber reflectors. I have the black headlights with amber reflectors on my '04 Mineral Gray XLS, and it was a tremendous exterior mod! I could post pics when I get home tonight. I was worried they would look too black, but they look perfect. I bet they would look great on any color X. With the amber reflectors, they are 100% legal.
