Know where to get black tail lights?

Ive been warned against tinting the back tail lights....I found really good looking front covers which I bought but I cant find anything for the tail lights. I found plenty for the Coupe but I have a sedan...


Any suggestions?

DO NIGHTSHADES, I know it's kinda a pain to do it yourself, but this way you get the darkness you want, and it's in the best quality. I have pics of mine, and I'm not mechanically inclined AT all, and mine look descent in my opinion. Nightshades is about 15 bucks off ebay, and one can will do all 4 lights. Heres what mine looks like.

I bought mine off Ebay and I'm sure if you search they probably sell a set for your sedan on their too eventually. Mine were complete tail light replacements and not covers or overlays. Some people have had nightshades and it turned out really good like the guy that posted before me but others I have seen turned into a real nightmare and they are not very happy now with there tails....

But then again they make LED tails for the sedan that look much nicer then the cheap ones they have for our coupes. I'd get a set of those tails if I had a car like yours. (A little expensive though)

One other thing there is a company on Ebay that makes diffent overlays and some are darker or lighter then others

The cheapest way that you will probably laugh at is to use black panty hose and stretch over your tail lights

Good luck!

thought you were asking for headlamps was just going to say buy me some projectors and ill send you mine j.k reading>me i painted mine...not that hard to do wish i would have did a how to for it but didnt know about this site untill after i had one of my friends dad help me with it he mixxed the paint and i sprayed it i belive he used a 70/30 mix of clear coat and black paint just remove lights tape off backing and spray...ill ask him when i get a chance and make sure that 70/30 is correct

turned out really nice i just think he added to much paint for the headlight mix cause we've done it to several cars and mine turned out the darkest...killed a lot of my light...but well worth it imo
