Yes, if you hadn't already driven through a hedge :oooh:

Why mate? It looks a bit Knightriderish and clear lenses and indicators look v nice imho anyways :smile:

I take it all back...

Ford's USA SVT have released the Focus SVT with a very slight smoke on the front lights.

I say, try it - you just might like it. As a reference, you can buy slightly smoked front indicators and if you tint the headlights ever so slightly this could look really good.

I'm not gonna do it simply 'cos I've got nice blue bulbs in mine :wink:

tinting your indicators to the colour of your car is quite sweet & legal but if u touch your headlights then the rozzers will shaft you hard! I had clear lights all round then i got bored with them after about 2 months so i tinted all my lights red. Looks pretty decent in my opinion! Clear or not they still look very tidy! :grin:

Hope this helps?
