Taillights that are already tinted. And if they have l.e.d.'s that come with it, that would be great. Just something to change up the looks. I just wanted to see if anyone was selling some for cheap or below stock price...

IMO the best quality is actually with spray or do it professionally.

not everyone is good at painting, and even if you are nightshades is a bit harder to do.

to the OP if you don't think you can do it yourself take them to a paint shop and see how much they want to do them professionally

Yeah, I would do it myself, but I just dont really have the time/patience. My bud's girlfriends dad owns a body shop, but I don't know how much he charges. I just want to see if anyone on here can give me a time/cheap consuming method. And plus I want some with led's if possible.

just do it yourself its really not hard, 2 light coats and a solid final coat will do it and that will make it smoked pretty good but not black and you wont get pulled over most likely

i did, im sure it wont be hard to squeeze in like 1 hour or 2 in your day, it takes about 30 mins to uninstall and prep it, then 30 mins to paint it, then another hour to dry and its good to go. it dries SUPER FAST, i had mine installed in my car in under 2 hours and it was good to go.

I know, I just want to keep my stock lights "untainted" just in case. Thats why im looking for some that are already done. If not, then I would 100% do it myself. Its pretty easy like how you said. And i would think it would be fun too.
