    I guess it depends on your definition of "smoked". I always thought (and of course, I could be wrong!) that smoked meant a light tint on the lens covering the head light. My 2010 OR, before I did BHLM and the retrofit had the black chrome, but in no, way, shape or form, looked "smoked". Here is my front end before I did the mods:

    Yes, in 09+ TRDs, the surround is glossy gray/black. Lens is clear. It's part of the "facelift" Toyota did in 09, along with the LED tail lights.

    Top is pre-'09 , bottom is '09 - '11 , so to me they looked smoked , but I do agree that it is not the actual lens that is smoked , the lens is clear .

    Wow. Didn't realize how big a difference it made! Looking at it that way, I bet that older style chrome bezel would have looked really good with the chrome grill.

    I think only the TRD models came with that option IIRC. And BTW, if somebody is selling some smoke, count me in! :rasta:
