tinted tail light covers or paint
I painted mine with VHT, and I'm not that happy with the light output. So, I'm going to sand them down and try using a tint film.
But, if I was going to choose between covers and painting my tail lights. I would use paint. I had covers on my old camaro, and didn't really like them. But, being able to take them off in a few seconds was convenient. Other then that, I like the VHT more.

Since it's not an option, I would say neither. I prefer the non altered look of the tail lights because personally, I got tired of them to quick and I got hassled by cops about them. In the end, it's your car so do with it what you want but I'm just giving my $0.02.

ive seen people drop a few drips of black in a clearcoat and tint that way. i like the way my vht turned out most people ive seen with it on there cars don't take the time to polish it out the right way
I will agree with you that they're too dark. I will be correcting that soon.

i used to ran tail light covers till i was caught in a down pure on a highway. shortly after pulling into a rest stop the guy who i didn't know was behind me said he couldn't see me at all. caught in the vortex of water spray coming off the other vehicles on the highway he could only see the very small brake light on the rear hatch when he ran up close enough to bump draft. they wasn't mad at all, just concerned for safety for me and others on the road. i only use covers if i'm in a car cruise and car shows
they do look sexy though! i say covers, that way you can take them off if need... i scrapped off the white letters

Myself i prefer covers. The ease of removal without the pain of painting it just right. I agree alot look AMAZING and i will be using spray for my front turn signals, the plastic covers work just good for me 
And with the lights on (not brakes)
