I have my amber red outs and took off the reverse red out because it made the *** to simple. I saw an AMG S600 with smoked reverse lights and it looked sick i wonder how it would look on my SGM. Any one have pics?

This is an example

I wouldn't smoke the reverse lights, it's best to have them as bright as possible imo

Why? Safety?

Yes, you want people to make sure they can clearly see you are backing up. If they are dim it's not as visible.

Ehh people on this site preach saftey but that doesnt stop them for opting for the 350 or isf and adding performance to go faster and putting on dangerous tire set ups and drops and adding body pieces that can fly off at any minute on the highway those that lead to more accidents than having smoked reverse light. Imo that is.

Even when my tail lights were BLACK, the reverse was still very noticeable. Theyve now faded to a healthy smoked color that i love. I say do it, or get smoked overlay to do it cheaply to see if you like it before going the paint route.

if you smoke them you need to put brighter reverse lights. Ive heard stories of tickets in Los Angeles, CA. My two cents.

Do you have backup camera?

Well I have heard of being ticked for smoked brake lights, but not reverse lights. They do look good though

smoke'em it'll be fine. Trust me, mine are smoked (painted with several layers) and the light output is fine



(this is during the day, but they are still bright at night)
