I would say a very light smoke would look good (10-30% tint) but no more... would look chav with em blacked out!

I think I would tint the lights if I was you, as I'm going to do mine now that I've had the windows tinted.
Would look more matched tinted it just doesnt look right as it is
Prefer the originals, so I'd say no tint

nah ive taken them off my fleet of volvos, look a bit silly but windows looks good with gold although im taking them off as well. I have a set of crystal rear light to get rid of when i get a min.

tinted clear sections maybe all tinted too much imo,

i think it would look good against the gold,
with the windows too will finish of the rear..
dont want too dark but mild tint would look more class than chav.

How would you tint?
Thinking about this too.....
i just sprayed mine,
you can buy tint in a tin from ebay ,just light coat it,each coat makes it darker,so spray until you got the tint you want,
let each coat dry tho.
you can do it with spray paint too,gloss,light spray,then laqure it ,
i have tinted mine :
Back with a 1997 S70 T5 SE
And mine's going to be the same/similar Dazab! Maybe the darker tinted lights look better with a silver motor though?

I like that Mr Dazab! Such a shame you are based in a foreign land otherwise I would have you do them along with my windows!

Id Say No Tint It Looks Sweet How It Is!

a word of advice .................if you laquer over the tinting spray it will give a longer lasting and more factory looking finish............it is also easier to explain to pc plod that they are factory lights not tinted..........they can make you remove tints if they think they are too dark but don't seem to argue if they think they are factory tinted............i always find it easier to mix a small amount of black paint in with some laquer then spray............it is easier to control how dark you tint your lights this way.................hope this helps
sorry forgot to add ..........this is a picture of my tinted lights
