Original or smoked taillights?

Which one do you prefer? I love the look of all both and can't decide what to do.

None of the above! JDM tails are the best replacement, they're unique/cool and freaks out the service guys at the dealerships!

Why smoke the tails so they don't work as well?

Not very dark, just to give it a darker red look. Our tail lights shine pretty bright so it would affect it too much.

Looks good! And illegal and unsafe. Little too dark for my taste.

That looks amazing! Mine is a DG coupe so I think I'm going to keep it original. Not too fond of the JDM lights.

To mean, clean, clear OEM tails make a car look new.

Smoked tailed just looks dirty.
