Blacked Out Talights/Headlights

I've been thinking about blacking out my taillights but I'm not sure if the ones on ebay are reliable or not? Any suggestions on where to get the film? How easy is it to do install yourself? Oh, pics would be nice, I have an anarchite, but I've yet to see one w/ smoked tailights?

I've heard from a couple people that the spray could leave uneven marks and it shows when the lights are on. If you need to spray it from the inside of the light housing then why not just get the film.?
I also hate the cheap film though (the dull looking kind). I think rockblocker has the gloss look to it.

Matt, as always, thanks for always being my representative when I am not on.

I got that headlight tint from:
http://www.xpel.com/products/headlight.asp

It comes as a set with the headlights & fog lights. The xpel stuff is amazing and you should spend 5 minutes on the website- pretty cool stuff. The headlight protectors will make your lenses look like new as well as protect your headlights. You cant see in the picture but the plastic protective material is really thick so the impact of little flying rocks never hurts your car.

In terms of tail light tint, I got my tail light tint from eBay and it worked well on my car. I didnt know about rockblocker at the time- I am sure he has some good stuff.

Hope that helps- feel fr
