Thanks cyber....the correct termimology is helpful when you don't know what you're looking for.
This appears to be common topic and I apologize for the redundancy....chalk one upto the "newbies".

Check that site out, it has a great DIY guide about smoking your taillights. Its really something else.

Hope that helps.

I personally hate the stuff, when driving behind someone with that during the day you can't see their brake lights at all, an near plow into them

^ 2 shades and you can still see both headlights and taillights clearly. Headlights still light up the road really well too.

Look around ebay for nightshade, i think its like $16 a can?

you don't even need to use an official product for cars like nightshade. a friend of mine was looking to black out his trailblazer, and we smoked his taillights with transparent black paint used to tint the windows in model cars. they have it at my local hobby shop in small spray cans for a few dollars each, i think we needed 2 cans to to 2 coats on each taillight. just clean them, sand them with a pretty fine paper, spray as many coats as you need to get the look you want (it dries darker than it looks at first...use common sense), wait for it to dry and clear it. We did his headlights too and those started to peel, but its been about 3 months on the taillights and they're holding up fine. theyre even still visible during the day
