I used VHT NiteShades on my tails, and it worked pretty well for me. You could tint the headlights, but alot of people on here paint and smoke them. Definitely recommend some HID's or fogs for headlight mods though.

Might want to check local laws first. 5 oh might not like it.
That looks nice, but if you did that here the cops would shoot you in the eye, skull fu*k you, and eat your spleen.

I used Lamin-X film for my tail lights and 3rd brake light. I chose 'smoke' which is a moderate tint and so far I've had no problems with local law enforcement in California.
Before: After: Tinted at night (still plenty bright in my opinion): Tinted with brakes applied:

@Herbicidal
how long did the install take? Are they car wash safe? They seem to be very similar tech to 'invisible shield' for gadgets

You can buy the Adhesive Tint or go to a local Paint Shop and get a quote...Its usually not that bad. I've seen on some cars if you tint the headlights the tint can chip/peel. I personally like the paint smoked look cause you can make it as shiny as the car. They all work though, its really your call.
In regards to the law, If you see a lot of smoked lights in the area you're probably safe...if not call a local shop and check...they'd know for sure
