They do reflect still....
here are some pics I just took.....of course, the flash makes them reflect a little bit more than headlights do, but you get the point...they don't reflect as much as stock, but they still reflect.

second set is of them with parking lights on.

i stand corrected. maybe if you smoke those with sterling mist colored paint they'd look better on my car like you said. who knows.

i also don't like the fact that they only have fronts. arent the two basicaly the same exact thing?

thanks for taking pics josh!

yeah they definitely look good on darker colored cars but i'm thinking they're light enough for my sterling mist. only problem is they're illegal.

Hmm...they don't look all that dark on that black Max.

I'll stick with my DIY smoked corners.

on a black max they don't blend as well as the DIY smokes. but on a sterling mist or grey lustre they may be just right.

I like the look i get with the clears fornt and rear on my sterling mist. But I think during the summer i might experiment alittle with smoking them or doing led's or something. i still have my stock sidemarkers so i might try and play around with a few possibilities.

they're perfect for my taste. not too dark, but dark enough to notice that it's not completely clear. you should post pics side by side.

greg from CE has yet to contact me, I will call him again tomorrow to touch base on the gd. don't worry, i haven't forgotten about this.

Just sent an email to Greg at CE after calling again, and was advised that as busy as he is, this would be the best form of contact. I'll reply back as soon as I get a response so hold tight.

BTW, I was told that the full set should be available around June, so I'm not sure if you guys are interested in waiting for the full set first or want to go ahead and get the fronts and worry about another gd for the rears when they are available.

I'm trying to stay on top of this the best I can, and will update as I get new information. Thanks for your patience.

Well guys, you asked for it, and I'm now delivering it. I got something setup for the GD, which means this thread might possibly be moved to the GD forum. I think that we should jump on this while it's here, and deal with the rears when they come in. It's not promised what I can setup in June and if it'll be this good. Below you will find the response that I received. Hope this helps:

Thanks for your interest in a group deal. The Smoke front bumper lights is a new product and still quite difficult to get. However, at this time we have 30 sets remaining in our inventory so we will be willing to do a group deal on them to help you guys out. Here is what I can do for ya:


5-9 orders = 37 shipped
10-15 orders = 32 shipped
15+ orders = 27 shipped

The current price is $44 plus shipping so you can see that these prices are very competitive.

i think that might help those that are waiting to hear, but don't come in the thread.

thread might be moved quicker that way also.

don't forget to put yourself on the list

I'm down for them. I think they would look hot on a sterling mist. But do they have these for the rear no sense in buying only the front.

Great job.... I don't know about anyone else but I'll be waiting for the full set. I think my car would look dorky with the front smoked and the rear clear. Hey Deckdout2... could you work a GD for the whole set and let us know? Thanks!
