How to Black out Taillights

Ive decided to black my taillights but have no clue how to do this. is there a film that you can buy to place over it? how did you guys black your tail lights out. i just want something that will look good and clean.

Have you even tried using the "Search" button towards the top right of your screen?

I used nightshades on my 3rd brake light and installed HD tail lights.

you could do it yourself or you could go to a local tint shop and have them tint it to whatever shade you want... local shop in cali charged me 30 bucks to smoke out the rear tails on my 01 f150 and they did a good job...

i've done both, i like having them black cleared vs the nightshading better. you can get good results with nightshades though, if you color sand them and them buff them out.
