do a burnout and let the smoke cover the lenses and you have smoked lenses.. sorry man idk where to get them, did you try OPG? thats the only place i could think of.

My God i do believe they dont exsist, after 2 hours of hammering the internet for them...I guess i can take them to a tint shop and have then slap somethin on? oh my.

There is a shop around the corner from me with a new H2 in the driveway that has a huge sticker on the side of it called "smokedlamps.com" or some such thing. It is located right off the 405 at Manchester Ave. I can dig up the exact name and number if you're intersted.

Thanks thats the right website, i checked them out but they only go back to 1984, o well ill drop em a line anyways, thanks.

Mix some black basecoat and thin it more than directions require. Then clear them. It's that simple. If you want to check the darkness hold a flashlight from the inside and check.
This worked great on a s-10 I built years ago. And the great thing is you don't have to worry about somebody walking up and just clipping tinted covers off and walking away.

RandyB..

Can you explain this more? how is the base coat transparent....im 18, dont kno much about paint, dont know what you mean by "clear them" thanks.

All paints are transparent with the first 1 or 2 coats provided they're thinned enough.
The clear I'm referring to is a base coat clear coat system. The clear going over the basecoat to create the gloss.
