Default Tail Lights

Hey, I was looking up taillights, not because the stock looks bad, but kind of plain. I dont want that chrome junk, more like smoked out ones, but all the ones I found just had the lights, and didnt show how it looks on the car itself. I was thinking of maybe just a lamin-x sticker. What do you guys think? If you guys have an Accord that has either a sticker or acutal taillight, pics would be greatly appreciated, so I could see what it looks like.

Most people smoke/tint their tails themselves. Either vinyl or a tinting spray.

What was it, an actual wipe-onpaint, or spray paint? And what brand did you use?

VHT "Nite Shades" is what you should use. Its a spray on paint, about $15 a can I think. Somewhat hard to find at local stores, even online its a tad difficult.

For the VHT, what do you do, just remove the tail light and spray it on? Im guessing it has instructions
