Here's mine. I tinted them just enough to match the third brake light. I didn't want to run into problems with the law or getting my state inspection.

so do the tails just get tinted like your normal windows? I have seen the blackout covers from AM but I havn't seen tint on plastic taillight covers.

I've heard of people tinting lights with film, but never seen it in person. I painted my lights. Basically I used clear basecoat with a little black in it, sprayed it til i got the desired tint, then clear coated them. The quality looks OEM.
