Status: offline I tinted mine out with the vht nightshades and clear coat. They are still just as bright as stock. Just depends on how many coats you do if you want them BLACK then you wont see sh!t but if you want just smoked it should be fine. Same with the tint overlays just adjust the %.

Status: offline I bought that exact kit for my taillights. It's a bit of a pain, but it came out good, I would recommend it. Me personally, I'm going to have mine painted soon.

Status: offline I used to have mine smoked. We ended up doing something different to it, but I want to change it back to the tint look. Tested it during the day and at night, the lights are still visible thru the tint.

Status: offline You can either buy a plastic piece that covers the whole light, or you can get a can of spray tint, or you can just use a roll of window tint (which is what I did). The plastic cover piece can come off and on, the spray is permanent, and the window tint is also removable. I have heard that the window tint isn't thick enough to handle the heat from the lights, but they worked well for as long as I had them on. It was pretty easy to put them on and looked good. I know a roll of tint costs about $15-20 for a whole roll. Not sure about the spray or the covers.
