what you do is that you get a type of clear coat spray that you spray on your taillights and it tints them, thats a cheap way of smoking them and it looks great like all other smoked taillights, thats how must people smoke their headlights

check with your local laws, as tinting your taillights and/or headlights is illegal in most locations.
the worst part, that tint spray doesnt come off easily, if at all... if you get a fix-it ticket.

i found a couple of sites(dont have the url) that recommend RC car window tint spray. I went to my local hobby shop and found some. It is made by "pactra" and is sold in a 3oz can for about 4 bucks. Just use this, and apply a few(probably up to 5 or so) smooth coarts from about a ft away keeping steady motion,and then apply some enamel that should look nice. the model number or the spray is RC294, hope that helps. I have 2 cans that i didnt use because of local law
