You can paint them or buy an overlay.

I just received some from Blue Bat yesterday. Very good material... haven't installed them yet since the car is going to the body shop on Saturday.

Check him out... decent price too.

Bat sells them too.........the overlays that is

I have had both the tail lights and backup light overlays for about 5 years and this is what they look like now. I never really took care of the overlays other than when washing the car so they have spider cracks in them(tail lights). I'm about ready for some new ones.

Damn i might just wanna go all black in the back, but i got the carbon silver color, trying to find the smoked reverse light lens but no luck, so that means im most likely going all black

Be careful with the overlays, because they sometimes leave stress marks on the lens (as stated by coachk)....but it sometimes happens within a matter of months

See that questions me sometimes about doing that, because i dont have money to drop on new tails if it really messes the lights up. So for i dont really know now. Here in Naples Fl, everyone has tinted taillights on everything .When i mean everything i mean reflectors on a bicycle that have been tinted. That's why im also looking forward to the Smoked Len's for my reverse/turn signal in the back, only if i can find them.

Stress cracks happen with or without the overlays... It's been discussed in a few threads regarding this issue... so it's not the overlays causing the problem. I believe if you search a little under Blue Bat overlays something will come up.

As for the rear reverse/turn signals the link is provided down below. I got them as well in 6/10 which is smoked. The one in the link down below is in 3/10 so it's a lot lighter than smoked.
