Im also plannning on buying the smoked or steel taillight film from AeroTect for my black 350. What about getting brighter bulbs as a solution to hard visibility during the day, has anybody tried that?

Well, here is my "tinted" setup. Tinted signals & reverse lights. Very light and subtle tint.



This is a good example of my tinted tails compared to stock IS-F tails.



Then again, I have IS-F tails. I just made a useless post. I just wanted to post pics of my car.

Tails are smoked. Don't waste your money on overlays - spend the money and do it right.
FYI - the bumper reflectors are painted same color as the car.

might want to try swapping in some LED lights for the stuff that can be swapped. remember that the tailight, high stop light, and brake light are LED's from the factory. i still think that since a lot of lights on the 2IS are already led's to begin with even with smoke they should be as bright as normal cars with regular filament type bulbs. in any case i have some extra LED 194 bulbs from a recent swap im going to try them in my rear turn signals or markers.
