Best way to get setup you want is to buy full clear lights and paint it with spray
Get your own style.

Smoking is nice on some cars, but what I wanted you to do was to slightly darken the white strip to look like the 5-series or the M-series.

I have the 2/3 red and 1/3 white rear lights and I tried putting on the coners and it looks nice, but it's not the look I was looking for, but it looks nice and the quality of the aftermarket lights is pretty good IMHO.

IMHO best option is to replace factory ones with diamond red/clear aftermarket lights. Must be looking very good. I'll post picture of my setup later. Haven't got lights yet.

I did not want to go with the white strip either so i just tinted out the amber part. I never really got a good picture of the rear but this is the best I could find. I like the look of the car a whole lot better now. I might continue the black strip so it would be a long black line as opposed to the long white line. what do you guys think?

I had Toyota Crown before and believe me - wide rear turn signals look very good at night.

Vik- Yea I see what you are saying cause on the 300zx, there is a long turn signal and it does look pretty good at night, or atleast in the garage when im just messing around. I intially wanted to go JDM but I didnt want to spend toomuch money without the car becomng any faster. I'm saving up for a torque converter 
All n' all, the tint cost me about 20 bucks and I also tinted the front corners so there is no more amber anywhere on the car. It changes the whole appearance of the car for the better. it was a 20 bucks well spent.
caliness - Thanks I was running around with that set up for over a year now and i was pretty proud of myself when I came up with the idea
