places like autozone sell it. It is basically a liquid tint.

If you can't find it at a local parts store, you can order it from Summit.

yeah its really easy. and there are just like two screws that hold in the brake light, its easy to take out. basically wet sand with like thousand grit sandpaper and keep spraying til its dark enough for you lol. and the light output on mine isnt bad at all and i did it pretty dark
