The aftermarket lights probably are not as good as OE but their good enough.
I might go with the clear tail lights, I just ran accross the smoked and was looking at them. I think the smoked would look real nice on a black SEC with some dark tints and blacked out chrome.
I don't have the money now but will probably get a pair this summer. $180 to change the look of the rear of the car isn't a bad deal.
My next project in the next few weeks is I want to get a new plastic insert for my grill. I already have new chrome sitting in my room. I will try body matching the grill and then painting it black. I think on my blue car the blue grill would look the best; but we will see.
Smooooth if I can find a few sure. They will probably still need paint though. Those lower fogs a long with euros will take 10+ years off the front ends of these cars.
I want to change a few little things here and their on my SDL to make it different then every other W126 I see.
