P5 taillights question

I just want to keep my mind open, I've seen a couple of P5 with smokin' (maybe tint??) taillights, and it looks to be custom made... i want to know how do you do that? my P5 is black and I want to make it dark (taillights) as possible as it's very clear to see the lights in the dark.

it MAY be easy to see the tail lights at NIGHT....but making them dark makes them VERY hard to see during the day....especially at either sun up, and you are going west...or at sundown and you are traveling east.....

someone in either this club or the other one I am a member of did the mod you are speaking of....and because he has a black P5 and thought it would look good. Well it did look good.....for all of a week until someone rear ended him because they could not see his brake lights well enough to know he was stopping.

Smoked Tails I posted this a while back, I have not had any problems with the police, or getting a inspection sticker. I can't remember how many coats I used, but I think it was like 4 of the tint, and then 2 clear coats to give it the shine. I can get you a picture of the can of spray I used if you want. PM me or just post here. Scroll down till you see my post.
