Spray tint. VGT nightshade. More work but less expensive than new lights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Night...spagenameZWDVW

I'd suggest the film as opposed to the spray tint. only because if you decide to remove it (because of a ticket[s]/other unwated attention) it would be much easier/less of a hassle to remove the tint, than to work on getting the spray off and risk damaging the headlights and then having to restore the outside of the lights.
Just my opinion though

Its not hard.. The film comes precut. I tinted my stock taillights just to do it and see if I liked it. A easy $20 mod. But, for the price.. I'd go with Niteshade.

Save your money and just get new assemblies. i'm not a fan of painting/tinting your lights. Just get new nice looking ones. You can find decent prices out there. I say don't chince out on your car. If you have the money to mod it, mod it then. But if you don't have the money for the mod. Don't do the ricey next best thing.

+1 please dont modify your car at autozone just because you dont have the money. Stock is way more beautiful than rice.
