Shooottt, I've been waiting for Altezza tails to make a return.Reminds me of the Altezza era 20 years ago. First ones look cool, then it gets old quickly. Once you see the manufacturers making them OEM (Altezza: Ford Fusion, various Mitsubishis, Lexas, Nissan Altima, etc) the fad has passed...
These are on my truck for product testing. I can 100% confirm that they are clear.I’m not gonna have this argument again…but the taillight lenses themselves are tinted and it’s evident by the color tone of the tail lights and how dingy the light sections that aren’t lit up appear.
It’s not as egregious as the other ones currently available, but it’s just frustrating that it is at all.
I figured you still had them on yoursThese are on my truck for product testing. I can 100% confirm that they are clear.
The black housing, black circuit boards, reflections, and camera light balancing all make it appear darker than it really is.
Here's the same lens style in their the Bronco tails photographed in a whitebox studio environment. The tail lights they put on my truck are just as clear as this.

side note: they do call this colorway "smoked", but that's because of the white/gray diffuser in the C-shaped optic. All other optics / lenses are clear or red.
I would buy them, but they need more chrome.I would buy those tail lights today. Since they are red. lol
I’m still trying for some clearsI’m so tired of smoked taillights…
Just a guess, but around $500 for the taillights and $800 - $1000 for the headlights from what I am seeing on the Form site.How much will those set you back: approximately![]()
To me, these do not look smoked. They look like the are black backs/housings and a clear lens.I’m still trying for some clearshoping someone will design something other than smoked tails. The all black look when no lights are on throws me off
I see. Well it’s the “smoked” outer shell lens that I’m referring to. Generally the inner optic diffusing parts are translucent white and the smoked outer lens makes them appear grey. I have a set of taillights for my other car that I tore apart that do exactly that. Partially smoked outer lens, and the diffusers in the inside are milky white but appear grey because of the smoked lens.These are on my truck for product testing.

Yes, and to further clarify, the outer lens you are referring to is fully clear on this product.I see. Well it’s the “smoked” outer shell lens that I’m referring to.

Is the C-light element clear (smoked) then or tinted red? I’m hoping clear because I hate the red on my green paint.Yes, and to further clarify, the outer lens you are referring to is fully clear on this product.
I know the lens is clear for sure cause it uses LEDs on the inside. But when I say clear I’m referring to the clears from the 90s and early 2000s with a clear / milky white lense and chrome housings. Basically OEM tails with no red lens. These do look cool, just not fully my styleTo me, these do not look smoked. They look like the are black backs/housings and a clear lens.
