Just take the lens off, sand off the DOT lettering and hit it with some niteshade.

mine is currently niteshaded. I think the next the i will do it put a trans am or firehawk sticker over the niteshade and paint it color matched to the car and then remove the sticker. Since my car is NBM it will be subtle but it should look good. Then when you hit the brake light it will shine through and show where the sticker was
