Smoked headlights...

The last part of my maxima "refresh" is going to be new headlights and possibly fogs. I can get a clear/New set of both on eBay for around $110. I have an SE with dark taillights....so I'm thinking about getting those smoked lenses ones instead. They are $106. Not the cheap projector halo kind...just stock smoked. Anyone have these or seen them in person? Are they dope or cheesy?

Would they match the Se tails? Or am I better off getting clear? Other factor is I have clear side markers in front and fogs aren't smoked

Black housing headlights with black tails works very well IMO. I would go for black housing with clear glass instead of smoked glass.

Clear side markers will look weird tho, you need em smoked for the best look. Fogs dont seem to matter as much.

You just described my car

SE tail lights
black headlights in the front -> back to stock due to accident
black grill -> now it's blue due to accident
white side markers (this is supposedly illegal I got pulled over once for it but no tickets :S)
HID 3000k fog

Mine's a SE so it has the spoiler to complete the look

At night I like... Car's mostly dark with the four white markers that just stand out

The headlights themselves aren't cracked but fixing the tabs and making it flush with the bumper's way too expensive.. So they've just sat in my garage for a year

Those look like those halo projector types. Those are regular reflector lights? Where did you buy?
