Default Black Tail-Light Covers

Just wondering if anyone knew where I could buy the black plastic tail-light covers for a h3? Ive seen them on some other vehicles, but never an h3. The ones im referring to are a dark tinted plastic that go over your entire tail-lights. I have a black h3 alpha with a black-grille and want to put on these tail-light covers and tint the windows. Thanks for your help!

theres 2 options. theres a spray that you can use. they'll sell it at alot of aftermarket parts stores. or if you want something thats not so permanent, theres a black film that they sell on ebay for like 10 bucks. works the same way as tinting your windows cept you'll need a heat gun for the corners.

I believe the the black spray paint is for off-road use only. All states have laws that require red reflective lights on the rear. That is, the lense must function also as a red reflector even with the lights off. Other than the safety issue of parking on the street at night, I don't know how well the law is enforced but you will be providing a convenient excuse for the cops to stop you.

Honestly... I can't stand the vehicles that have the black-outs, especially for the tail lights. Just the other night an F150 had them so dark you couldn't see any of the lights under them at all. They aren't very safe and you could be finding a big truckramming hisMack up your bum... whichcould be found tobe your fault regardless of the actual circumstances ... then an attorney calling wanting damages as well....

I used a black tinting spray I got from Japan through Ebay on my BMW X5. You can adjust the darkness of the tint by the amount you apply. I masked off a section of reflector and the lights are very visable at night but very dark during the day. I liked the way they came out.
