The picture next to the tree was the closest picture I took that really shows the darkness of them, everything else was either too bright or too dark. I just grabbed some more out in the driveway though.
Some more pictures of the tails:

Ya not sure about the tinted, cause now you can't see them. The look of the TL is classic by the headlights and bumper lights. Looks more like a Camry now. I will give you originality though, and car looks clean.

I think that I am going to get some tint film and tint the headlights and a set of clear corners to see how that looks, along with tinted windows (35%) and I may do a couple light coats of tint over the entire tail.

looks cool.. from my past experience, i have tried covering the rear tail lamps before also.... i tried many different types of tape but the one i liked best was the clear white medical bandage tape.. i installed them back in 97... in some angles, they looked similar to the jdm tail lamps, but i like my jdm tails much better 
.. here are some photos of my car back in 2000 or so...

The reason I had to stripe it: The stock striping was coming off in some places so I decided I would take all of it, leave the car looking nice and clean. So I started to strip them off with the help of a heat gun. I quickly ran intoa problem though, about 1/4 were painted underneith, the other 3/4 of them were not painted underneith so it looked really weird.
