Lightbulb smoking ur taillights. . .

I was wondering if anyone knew how they smoke your taillights. Because I dont want to take of my taillights, I just want to tint it if its possible or put a strip of black transperant film on it. Also if anyone with smoked taillights could show me pics of there cars, that would be helpfull as well. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

this is the best DIY I've seen for smoking tail lights...

http://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/820106.phtml

I plan on using this method once I can cleanoff the Niteshades currently on my g/f's lights...NiteShades worked well for darkening the lights, but left a very flat finish...looks like a coat of lacquer could help shine them up.
