It looks like they're smoked:

vs

Vendor #2 (which I've owned...briefly)


Plus, why would AM call them "Raxiom Smoked Projector Headlights" if the lenses were clear/un-smoked?

Not trying to start an argument or anything. Just wanted to know what your visibility was like considering you kept the halogens in. Wasn't sure if it varied or I got a junk set or something.

You are probably right. When i took them out of the box the black background to me was making it look dark, all the lights are clear when turned on so they made me believe it was a clear lense. The more I think about it the more I see the lenses being smoked after all. lol sorry man

Heres what they look like at night.

Cool. Thanks for the night shot.

I usually have enough light, but when it rains it gets a little "meh."

Looks really nice dude, especially with your cars color! How did you get the pony off your stock grill? What method did you use to get your emblems off?

Honestly with the pony emblem I broke almost every tooth on the back off lol. I gave it to a buddy of mine that has a black mustang. as far as the gt emblems, I used dental floss and then wd-40 to get the tape off the fender.

Note to yourself. there is two wholes behind the emblem so if your trying to just delete them, you will be disappointed.
