Default VHT Nightshade Formula Tail Lights

My Comp T/A Came with Formula Tail Lights, I was wondering if anyone out there has pics of Shaded Formula Tails? I searched but could not find any. I really do not feel like buying new tails just to black them out. Thanks

Not sure the difference between a Formula tail light and a T/A, but here are mine.

True enough. I didn't do it because I just decided to tint my tails one day it was nice. Then never did the 3rd brake light because I was done driving my car for the winter, so I just figured I would do it this spring. Now I'm looking into getting the LED 3rd brake light.
