welcome. I had tail light overlays that I had a shop do. Mine weren't as dark if you look at my progress thread. But they were dark enough for me since I still wanted people to be able to see when I brake. I used the nite shade spray for my wing spoiler brake light and the bumper reflectors on the bumper. I did about 5 sprays. Its pretty dark but not to the point where you just see black.

The problem with nite shades is that if you want to remove it, you have to basically polish it off which could be annoying in the future. With overlays, heat gun and slowly peel away. and then use some label/sticker remover to remove the sticky residue.

Thanks man. The current pictures of my grille is paint-matched. I used to have the 3M Di-Noc Carbon fiber vinyl.

As for taillights. It should be relatively straightforward. Should be close to the same process as for the headlights. I haven't done it so can't tell you exactly

im not a fan of blacking out tail lights. any little stupid accident and you are at liability for a near pointless mod =/

if you must, then do it really lightly, smoked not black is what you are looking for
