Those are covers from AVS or LUND.... Do a search on here for "Tail ight Covers" and you will get the part # for them. They can be picked up at any auto parts store such as Autozone or Pepboys....Good luck.

Dont get taillight covers. People could easily walk by your car and ****** them. Nightshade. Here are some pics of mine. Let me know if you have any questions.

AFTER CLEAR

Why not just buy the turn signal lights from ebay? You can get them in black.

You can buy the corners from ebay..but they are gonna be alot more if you do that. 11 bucks for some night shade...I did my stockers and they where pretty dark but you can do very light coats just until its dark enough where you cant see much orange, just keep the can far away from them. I know how much of a pain it is to change them so I understand if you dont want to change them out a bunch of times. A can should be just enough to black out the tails and lightly do the corners. Another thing I did was the rear running lights on the bumper.

Save your money and spend your time with nightshade. I did all 4 corners on my black firebird with nightshade and sprayed them with clear from autozone. looks awesome. I also did my 3rd brake light. As far as tinting the taillights...IMO looks better without covers or nightshade. There can be too much black. If you get black rims make sure they have a chrome lip.

I used 1 and 1/2 cans on my taillights and another can for the four corners.

Well, it took about 2 hours. 90% of that time was cutting out and taping paper around the taillights. The corner lights and 3rd light were easy cuz you just take those out. It is easier then you think. Just prep it and follow the instructions on the Niteshade can.
