Default Tinting the taillights?

I saw 98+ WS6 with the taillights tinted and it looked sick!! How hard is this to do? Also what kind of tint should I use?

Buy blackout covers, snap them on, done. IMO, $36.99 for blackout covers > $32.90 for 2 Cans of VHT shipped + time and labor.



Of course, you still need the VHT for the sidemarkers and CHMSL. And then you need front end blackout covers too.
