I did my own taillights and they look great. I used the same black paint for the body of my car and reduced it down to about 60% of the consistency of what you'd spray on the body. Then I used an airbrush and did a light coat on my prepped taillights. Total I did 6 coats over 2 days and ended up with a translucent black taillight that looks OEM. I did my third brake light in the deck lid as well. I added a custom touch to my third brake light prior to painting. After I cleaned and prepped it I added a vinyl sticker of a band I like and painted over it. Now when I hit the brake pedal, this light shines around the sticker and it looks engraved in the plastic. I think I had $40 invested and a total of 8 hours work over 2 days. Plus I didn't have to use a cheap Chinese housing destined to fade and crack in the SoCal sun.

I would buy a can of VHT and just do them yourself and save. I bought some expensive ones from a guy on ebay (who does alot of them professionally) 2 yrs ago and they looked great till this spring when the coating started peeling off in one corner the size of a quarter. They are DARK.

So it seems VHT is recommended. I wanted to stay away because I've heard of them being garbage but maybe they weren't done correctly. Ive seen the mustanggirl and will check them out.

Thanks guys.

^this .This place used to (or still has) as ebay page. This was the first mod i did to my car and they are absolutely perfect. They go as dark as you want and even give you money back when you send in your original lights. +1

That link above is where I got mine. My opinion is if your gonna spend 150+ shipping you may as well do it yourself. Mine need redone after 2 yrs. Next set I'm gonna try my luck.

Those tails at smokedouttails look good but yeah as mentioned above 150+20 ship is massive. I think ill pickup the VHT supplies and have a fun project for myself.

I have a set of dark smoke from that seller. They have seen the outdoors for a total of a two weeks. I bought them for my car about 2 years ago and my car went into storage after 2012 Mustang Week. Send me a PM if interested.
Side note: my girlfriend has had the medium smoke ones (from that same guy) for about 4-5 years and they still look fantastic. No need to refinish and her car was a daily for most of the time she has owned them.
Best picture I have of one of them at the moment.
