mine are clear in front, and smoked in the rear. with smoked tails
take them off and lightly spray paint them with a smoke paint (really, any enamel will work - I used Testor's Boyd Smoke Gray from a hobby shop)....but any enamel paints will let the light shine through. You could probably use a "majestic blue" enamel to color match it to your car also - that would look SWEET....just make sure only a light, even coat...just enough to cover it completely...if you put on extra coats it wont shine through as well....

i actually used black spray paint with a clear coat and they have looked great since ive had them on. or i think they have a product simply for this purpose i saw it in a mag some time ago, the only downside to that is you can see the light through. with my method there is no light coming through but a faint glow around the assembly. looks pretty cool at night
i would keep it wit clear fronts and red back. I have a 2k black max and it looks better in my opinion. I like to listen to what girls have to say about the look of my car and my girlfriend says to definitly keep it red in the back and clear up front. I like the color scheme of the red in the back with the tails.

Just threw the reds back on in the back..i had to the clears didnt look right with the dark tail lights and dark car....i may try smoking the rear ones like u guys are saying....so i just go to a home depot and look for smoked spray paint???
or a hobby shop. make sure the paint is an enamel. A lacquer paint will not shine through as well....But at an auto store you may be able to find some Dupli-color spray enamel that is color-matched to your car's paint. that's what I would do, personally.
here is a site for the smoked tail light paint.
