Default Smoked headlamp unit?

Anyone know where to get them?

I seen a red Fiesta featured in Fast Ford with them on and wondered where to get them, it's the only one I've seen with them.

Most of these units are DIY and being in the field of lighting I can honestly say "DON'T DO IT!" It completely ruins the way the headlamp operates.

The reflector is there to do a job and smoking any part of it or the lense will radically effect how it works for the worse. Even changing the colour of the lamp can effect the photometry of the unit

It will louse it up completely. Leave your headlamps alone
