Question Light tint

Okay, so i have my 94 gt... I have it the way i want it, with my hood support struts and all, and am eager to apply more cosmetic mods. I have not been able to find Blacked out tail lights for my beauty. I want the black lenses, and to keep the bezels the same body color. Is there any way to tint the lenses at home or do i just have to buy covers for the whole thing?

If you remove the tail lights you can actually seperate the bezel from the light. It's only held on with a few screws.

You will regret blacked out headlights the first time you drive after sundown.

yup... i applied the spray, and it's a little thicker than i thought... i'm gonna get some laquer (sp) thinner.... Ill use it to take some layers off and thin it up... i'm going for the smoked look, not the blacked out.... it's really dark.
BUT
I havent seen it after dark, i'll post pix for anyone whos curious.

Tails look good! I'm not big on tinted head lights though.
