   http://www.cituninguk.com/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=26786 thats the smoked jewels
   
   http://www.ruderacing.co.uk/Lamp_Tin...duct_info.html thats the tinting spray
   
   Its really up to you what you like but the tint spray can come out un-even and look stupid..so the decision is yours

    Mine are really dark, so long as light reflects off the reflectors and the lights are bright enough to be clearly seen then the spray is fine
    Not fully clear on it, but I am sellin my smoked jewels as black regular lights compliment my car more.
