spray on tint works well on taillights, but check local laws and use common sense.

p.s. use search feature and search for tinted taillights.

its really easy to spray tint taillights...you don't even need to use an official product for cars like nightshade. a friend of mine was looking to black out his trailblazer, and we smoked his taillights with transparent black paint used to tint the windows in model cars. they have it at my local hobby shop in small spray cans for a few dollars each, i think we needed 2 cans to to 2 coats on each taillight. just clean them, sand them with a pretty fine paper, spray as many coats as you need to get the look you want (it dries darker than it looks at first...use common sense), wait for it to dry and clear it. We did his headlights too and those started to peel, but its been about 3 months on the taillights and they're holding up fine. theyre even still visible during the day. it looks dirty on a black car to have matching tails

Don't use spray on tint.
It doesn't always finish evenly and also, as soon as you get a ticket for it (check your local laws regarding tail light tinting) then you will have to go and get new tail lights instead of just removing a nice sheet of tinting film.
