I recall seeing a picture of an NG900 with smoked out taillights, and so I'm curious if anyone on here has done. If so, was it DIY or something purchased? I've used some spray paint to smoke out the tails of a GS-R before, but I don't know what the best approach would be for the Saab. Any ideas? Thanks.
Haha yeah, I have that in mind. So on this one, did this person just smoke a bottom portion of them, or what? I'm not sure how the 9-3 taillights compare to that of a 9-3, so I'm not positive on what all was done to this one.
My car is black :cheesy: It would look too black. I'm still not sure If I wanna do it or not. I might buy 2 extra tails and try both looks and auction the 2 I don't want to keep on ebay. Donno yet
It would help once I see yours with the tinted tails :cheesy: So I'm expecting lots of good pics :cheesy: I may go through with it still but I'm just hesitant.

What headlight mod? I didn't see no pics of no mods. :cheesy:
Please remember to post pics of the blacked out Tail lights. I'm tiniting my windows soon too but doing that at a tint shop.

Wow I'm glad to see others who have done or are wondering of doing this...so for those of you who have done anything at all with it, and have a black Saab, could I get pics of anything ya got?

I chose to tint the turn signals only, to keep brake lights nice and bright... also because I liked the contrast of the red and I hadn't seen anyone else do it like that so I wanted to be unique. I was inspired by the old style 9-5 tails that look smoked on top with red brakes.
they are not as dark as i could make them, to keep some safety I want people to see my signals
"I started by removing the headlights. You will need to remove the grill first, then the corner lamps. then you will have exposed the screws that hold the headlamps in place. Next you can remove the headlamps by removing the three screws that hold them in place. Use a flathead screwdriver or similar tool to pop the metal clips off that hold that glass onto the headlamp. Now is a great opportunity to clean the inside and outside of the headlamp glass thoroughly. "
I never did personally care for the look of the smoked tails, but each to their own...
I love the look of my red and clear tail lights!
