Default tail lights

Right now I have covers over my tail lights, but they don't really fit right and also stick out a bit. I have a can of niteshade, but I am leary about making a mistake and ruining my lights. Is there somewhere I can send my tail lights to get it done right? thanks

Body shop could do it.. They would just mix a little bit of black into a clear...

I have nightshaded tons of taillights. Its better if you dry spray them anyways so you dont have any real heavy spots.

I got nightshade at my local parts store, you can also get it at toys with noise if you have one in your area. The nightshade was from a spray can, but the clear coat was sprayed from a gun. But I have done other taillights that are just your normal rustoleum clearcoat.
