Tinted taillights

Does anyone know where I can get vinyl overlays for my taillights I don't really want to use that night shade stuff I think overlays would be easier I'm looking for just a light shade

Just buy smoke vinyl. Cut it to size put in on with some heat it may or may not conform around the light

I'd trade you non tinted stockers if you decide to go back. Or even some cash included if you wish.

I used nightshade on my third brake light and side markers. Turned out great!

retros(usually not something i do for many people though), gauge pods, tail lights, dash trim painting, black interior conversions, mechanical, suspension and chassis, body work all of it pretty much.

sounds like nightshades to me... i can make them really black with still a lot of light transparency. unfortunately nightshades has too much pigment.
