tinting tail lights?

[brasso]

What would be the best way to tint my tail lights? I don't want them completely blacked out, but I plan on ordering a set of headlights which are already painted black on inside and want the tails to match. Suggestions?

I did mine yesterday and they turned out perfect for only $25 investment. follow the instructions on this link and you're golden
DIY: Smoke tail-lights using VHT niteshades. **REFLECTION FINISH!**

Did mine this weekend also. I did about four light coats of VHT nite shades and 5 of clear. Wet sanded with 2k then 2.5k paper. Polished and waxed.
I think the hardest part was wet sanding, I've never done it before this and was afraid to mess it up. Just keep a lot of water on the light and use some sort of backing for the paper as to not get finger marks sanded in, I used a small foam sponge. Then just polish out with some polishing compound. I'll get a photo soon.

I didn't go too dark. I did real quick light coats of vht, and fairly heavy on clear.
