Or tint film from http://www.lamin-x.com/, the plus side is they offer some rock/scratch protection too (esp. good for our headlights).

Night shades is godly. buy it from sumitracing.com. 1 can is enough to do 2 cars. i aplied about 4 or 5 light coats on my sidemarkers and 3rd brake light, and 3 coats on my tail lights, leaving my back up lights clear. IT LOOKS GREAT!! and for only 15-20 bucks. i think i have some pics on http://www.cardomain.com/id/s13wannabdrifter but my car was dirty and the pics arent great.

I've tinted nothing but the amber turn-signal parts of my taillights. I did it the easy way and just painted the outside of the light w/ that nightshades paint, its good stuff. I need to take them back off the car and try and take them apart, paint the inside of them, then get the paint off the outside. But, I like the way it looks.
