eah, not my taste but they put a layer of black acrylic over the tail light to have that "smoke" look.

You can get some paint on colors what are used to make realistic stained glass windows, it's called "Decra led" and you just paint on a thin film of the colour you want the tint to be, the good thing is it's like a plastic coat, so if you want to remove it you just lift the edge and peel it off like a skin. If you like it just leave it on as it's waterproof and quite long lasting.

I used some spray on hobby paint from a hobby store, used for tinting windows on model cars - it worked okay, but road salt absolutely raped it.

I used the matching brand of clear coat still meant for hobby purposes, but I think any good non-yellowing clear coat will work better - only reason I didn't is because I think the paint I got was a laquer or something and the clearcoat I had on hand was another..variety or something - didnt want it to melt through my lights or something retarded.

though my post was retarded... lol
