I like the smoked look and I did see the pictures of that expedition with the completely blacked out taillights. That was way too dark for my taste when it comes to balancing safety versus looks!

In all honesty, I didn’t want them as dark as they turned out, but I have come to appreciate the look. With LEDs and the third taillight, I’m not too worried about much of an adverse impact on visibility. That said, I hope I don’t have to find out the answer to the question of liability though!
I certainly respect those who would never do what I did, but with all the distracted drivers around, and I see them everyday, I always check my rear view mirror when stopping even slightly hard regardless of which car I’m driving!
BTW, my Benz has smoked tails from the factory!

The smoked tail lights can look cool, however I'm with MrSticker and do not want to impact the visibility of my vehicle. There are enough idiots on the road so I'll take every advantage I can get to avoid them.
Not to mention that insurance could deny a claim or Police officer could cite you (depending on state).

I think I figured out the desire for smoked or blacked out taillights. I'm kinda slow tell me if I got it right.
People want black if there is no tail light required, but a nice red light when its sposed to be lit.
If so. Someone should make an LCD tail light with LED illumination behind it. Just like a TV. Heck it could probably be a small tv screen, don't know if they are bright enough though. It would be totally black until needed.

Just bolt a couple of iPads back there

I've done this to my Dodge Charger. I ended up with 3 light coats to keep it a good mix of red/black.
I tested it on an old trailer light. I did 1 coat at a time. I then tested it on a battery to make sure the light output was still good. I used the trailer light so I didn't mess up the tail light.
