Tinting Tail Lights?

I see a lot of cars on here that have either blacked out tail lights, or smoked ones...

What I'm wondering is, who has some good pictures of them.. And where can I get them. I have dark headlights, a dark grill, dark wheels, dark windows, and I think tail lights would go right along with what I am doing.

Thanks.

Those are a little dark for me. Wonder if they make some like just SMOKED instead of blacked out.

Where did you get those?

I thought about 04 tails too. But I don't know where to get them, and how much they cost. Some used ones would be NICE.

Yeah use Night Shade and then spray some clearcoat over the tail lights to give them a good finish. I did mine and they turned out great.

I didn't get them anywhere... those are my stock taillights. I smoked them out myself using VHT Nightshade.
4 coats of Nightshade then 3 coats of clear (professional shop cleared them).

If you don't want them as dark, just use less coats.
