Uhh, they're popup head lights. Why do you want to make them darker?

This will do the work. You should consider all red tail lights too. They look better in my opinion. Don't use regular black spray. They are not as clear as this.

Yes. Used it on my daily driver MX-3. It's a good quality, but soon I removed it and painted amber corner with candy apple spray from hobby shop. Guess what? It looked awsome at first, but now it's been faded and looks dull now. I need to repaint them.

AZHitman said http://WWW.SMOKINLIGHTS.NET will tint clear tails for his car. If you do it through SMOKINLIGHTS, you have to take off your tail lights, mail them, wait until SMOKINLIGHTS tint and mail them back to you. clearcorners.com works the same way. If you do it yourself, just block the body with newspaper and spray tail lights at home. It takes about 10 min each. Well, it'll be cheaper do it at home. Most of all, if you don't like it, just use asceton(?) to remove the tint. Well, you can't remove tint from http://WWW.SMOKINLIGHTS.NET easily. Basically, you have to buy a new set to go back to the original condition.
