I got the "Tint" shade Lamin-x for the 3rd brake light and fogs in. I only wanted a very subtle tint, not a blackout of the lens. Still waiting on the tail lights. I also got the hood spears in, but not installed yet

I installed the fogs only. (the weather started to look bad)

Left fog light tinted and right is not yet (sorry for my neighbor in the picture) lol)

Got them off of ebay for $188. I like the smoked cherry red look as opposed to everything all 100% black. I like a little contrast.

i have an LED smoked 3rd brake light coming in tomorrow too
