Default Headlights and taillights desicion

My stockers are totally cloudy. I like the blacked out look. Look like I have a lot of choices? Just want to know I have seen all the options? I see a bunch of choices on Ebay. Are these crappy quality?

As for the tailights. I would like to black them out. Ive seen the plastic covers and a tint like film? Are there any other choices? Anyone use either of these?

i bought the pro car parts non halo lights for my car and have been pretty pleased with them, i was never really a fan of the halos. As for the taillights you can use VHT nightshades to black them out, but dont use those covers. If you do a search for them you will find threads where people have had them cause their taillights to melt or warp.

Anyone know the brand of headlight on the black Camaro? Dont know if it's the angle but they look a little darker. I want a dark look. Think Im gonna go with the film for the tail lights.
