Default Blacking out lights

I'm thinking about blacking out my head lights and tail lights sometime soon...what are the different approaches that i can take?...i'm thinking about buying some window tint and just using that...any one with experience know how easy or hard it was?

Thanks!

blacking out with film on the exterior on the lens? or taking the lens apart by baking the lens?

the 2 best options I've seen are to use

Option 1)
A tint spray like the tamiya spray although you have to be very careful of overspray.
Pros-Cheap and Easy Looks good and doesn't block too much light
Cons-Permanent, If not done right will drip and need to be sanded and redone.

I personally have this on my head and tail lights on my 320i and it worked great

Option 2)
Using a film that many manufacturers supply IMHO it looks crappy and the color is off
Pros-Removable, no worries about mess or bad job
Cons-Less good looking of the two options and can look cheap, some block a lot of light

These are just from my experiences and I hope it helps.
