   I'm looking to buy some smoked headlights..
   
   I found the Ultra Citroen phase 2 black headlights.. located at..
   http://www.dcp-shop.co.uk/buy-car-ac...d=1893&ref=213
   
   They are like.. £129.96..
   
   I know some people liek to smoke their own..
   
   What's the difference between the two final products? Which looks the best? Anyone have any pictures differenciating two?
   
   I was thinking about smoking my own but.. i don't know if i'll fuck it up.. or how good it will look. Erm.. yes..

   Smoking you standards is must cheaper, I am intending on doing this soon. Angels are very expensive and people have said they aren't worth the money. If you do buy some angel eyes then get a years garauntee with them if you can.

   You can do it in a day easily. There is guide on the forums somewhere. Have a search. Only cost you about £20 max as all you need is primer, paint and lacquer.

    Thanks for your replys guys!
    
    I haven't really started modding my car yet.. but i think one of the important things is the lights. I did like the angel eyes, but then i just liked the smoked ones.. because i eventually want to head towards the euro look
    
    I'm very indecisive on weather to smoke my own.. or buy them pre-smoked and sell my old ones. I have considered angel eyes but.. though decision :X

    Yeah I've had standard, smoked, and angels, and prefer the angels to be fair
    
    Although i'm going back to standard in order to sell
