How do they actually look when turned on? Does it make a big difference with the dark reflectors?

Hey Scott
No problem with the lights (I drove home 2 hours that night) they were just as bright with the black paint.

Looks Great, maybe you could share a little on the process or the type of paint used. Truly they look great. Do you still have the standard Halogen bulbs or have you upgraded to HID?

Brabus is taking the turn signal yellow bulb out and putting in a silver painted bulb in it's place that flashes yellow. Philips makes it and will give your lights a better look. Check the internet or auto parts store. Lights look very good.

Hello everyone, I just picked up my smart passion on Saturday, such a fun car to drive. Would love to organize a smart rally in NJ. Where is everyone from, I am in Hunterdon Cunty.
Tried Pizza Hut?
Yep, and they are taking all of their customers with them. I guess you can have an idea how mad I will be if I am able to get my new fortwo fixed or to even get parts. My blood is going to be BOILING! Why did Penske even bother to bring these cars h…
I have seen a 451 in Florida with a "backpack" on. Like a pizza delivery car. Looks great Does anybody nows where i can get it ??????????
See previous posts in this thread. I've been saying that for a very long time. Daimler and Smart have not supported this brand in the US and they apparently relied on viral marketing and YouTube to do all of their advertising. My Smart dealer didn't…
Why is it that I see TONS of commercials for Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Nissan but ZERO for smart cars? Why did they even bother to bring these cars to this country in the first place for? If Rick Case spent $2,000,000 on his 5,000 sq. ft. facility,…
I think a one word answer will do for all of the US, and that word is . . . . . . . . . .
ZERO
On NPR our "local" dealer has a SMART commercial, but I have heard or seen nothing else!
Except for Nissan who is advertising their micro/micra.
