I ordered these and just opened them last night. Are these the right thing? They look way too big. Also they dont look "smoked" at all.

Thats the same ones I got. The size is correct but they didnt look smoked at all. Ive noticed that everyone that is ordering these theirs dont look smoked either, I didnt want to say anything though. When I got mine (the exact same ones you have) I put two coats of VHT nightshades on them, wet sanded them, Then clered them. I havent put them on the car yet but I must say this is what I thought smkoed would like. I can take some pics tonight if anyone would like.

i got the same thing, comapared to the clear corners they are smoked looking. they are not totally blacked out or anything, but the lens is tinted. they look darker once you get them on. look at a pic of clears beside a pic of the smoked, you'll see the difference

From looking at that picture it looks like both the 194 and 3157 bulbs enter from the rear of the housing. I thought that the 3157 was supposed to enter from the top? Anybody have any thoughts, I'm waiting for mine to show up in the mail. Also check out my link in this post for those of you looking to run LED's with your clears

I think both bulbs entering from the rear of the housing is better... that's one problem I've always had with running LEDs is you couldn't ever see them because they point down.
With it now pointing out.. should be ALOT more visible!
And those multi-direction LEDs from that link look sweet too! Good find!
I've just made up my mind!

The bulbs go in just like factory. Thats just the way the lights look. In the 2nd pic if you'll look you can see the sitcker over the hole on top of the light.

what did i miss?

Yeah, they're the right size. They just look big when they're out because some of those top and side edges are hidden behind the bumper. As far as it being smoked, lots of companies are claiming that just because that really shiny inside part looks dark in certain lights. What company are they from?

Not the best pic, but you can see the difference in the lense tint between yours and the regular clears

Regular Clear Corners

EDIT: incase you were wondering, arrows are pointing to where i drilled holes on my lenses to let water drain out

Heres my smoked lenses, keep in mine I bought the same exact ones you guys have. I just used a couple coats of VHT night shades on them.
