Default Smoked lights

I'm looking to get smoked black tail lights and smoked headlights. Where is a good place to get them? And how much? I'm just looking for the covers, not replacing the entire light assemblies.

Are they DOT legal? I don't want to get pulled over because of a tail light or headlight cover. Or does it vary by state?

i used VHT nightshades on my trans am, and two of my friends did that with their camaro tail lights. Im not sure where you can get it though, i got autozone to special order 2 cans for me, from keystone, company they outsource things from. Its alot cheaper than tail light covers and i think it looks better, down side is that if you dont like it, not sure how you could get it off. If i remeber i will try to get pics of my friends camaro that has it done.

I've had rear blackouts on my tail lights for 6 years and the tails still look new. Never had a problem with them. They are illegal, but some states are bitchier than others....I've been pulled over several times with them on and never had anything said to me about them.
If you drive at night, you'll want to take the headlight blackouts off.....they seriously hinder visibility.
