For the look you're going for try going to some local paint/bodyshops and see if they have experience spraying lights. The more coats the darker they will be, so a few shot should give you what you're looking for.

nah nothing permanent. and spray sounds like it'll fog up the appearance.

These covers might be a bit darker than you are looking for, but very secure, yet easily removable....They are the GTR covers.....

As far as the grilles, I assume you mean overlays for that price....I haven't dealt with these guys yet, but I intend to.......

I'd stay away from tinting any lights permanently. The can melt into the stock covers. Plus they're going to get scratched anyway.
Just get covers.

The same for my taillights and no fogging. But I know what you mean by wanting to take them off. Thats why I just used window tint for my headlights.

i got the gtr's too. someday i'll get the blacked out lights, but for now this is good, plus i can always take them off. and you cant just make it a little bit darker, black them all out, the blacker the better.
