    Any suggestions on a brand or set of Smoked Headlights to buy, This is my next purchase. I do not want HID, all I want to do is replace my factory with a manufactured smoked set long with the fog lights. So far I just see the "Spec-D brand" set for both...

    Thanks guys ! let me know

    I bought these smoked headlights off ebay. I'll try to track down the brand/seller etc later tonight. Clips were quite the same size to clip into fender so a little shaving of the clips was necessary but overall I'm happy with them.

    See below: but note I have HID in the headlights and foglights. Very difficult to take accurate photos of the light output. There wasn't any noticeable difference in light output when I put the smoked lenses in. Once the beams were aimed properly, the lights turned out really well.

    Obviously depends on how dark the lenses are. But yes I do agree, generally your light output is going to suffer. In my case the lenses were not tinted all that dark and the brighter HID bulbs made up for any of the very minimal difference over the stock lenses.
