There are blackout kits and special paint available to tint tail lights.
I would think window film would be too dark and maybe too difficult depending on the shape of the lense.

Consider checking other cars in your area. There may be a "legal limit" for this.

You can also check on eBay. I got vinyl blackouts for the headlights and taillights all for $40, shipped. Look around and you'll find what you are looking for.

You could try, but it would probably last a week. Window tint goes inside the glass remember.

For our body styles, you will need to get a spray on tint. That is the best/only decent way to do it for 96-98 taillights because the roundness of the taillights.
