Ok guys, these first pictures in the garage at night may not be that great, but here goes.
I tried to find some spray tint in the auto parts shops, and found none. I talked to a few people and I also remember using tint for model cars in the past so I went to the local hobby shop, and they only had one can left. They said there are many people buying this stuff to black out lights...
So, I tried it. Here are a few pictures, I will let you know if anything crazy happens, and I will also take more pictures in the light tomorrow morning.
By the way, what the hell is the deal with this site? We seam to be slacking some?

Here is another inside the house. I don't know how many coats I used, but I'd say at least 8.

Wow, that is really nice, the lights seem to almost blend with the black plastic at the top.

They turned out perfectly and I love the look. One looks darker in the picture, but it is the angle of the camera... I used 3 cans of paint cost roughly $13.00 for 3 cans...
They blend in really well.

What do they look like with the parking light on? Brake lights? Blinkers?
Are these legal or is this one of those "do at your own risk" things?
Looks VERY GOOD! And I really want to do it to both my H3 and my Tahoe.

I had my wife hit the brakes at night, and it was perfectly bright. As far as the daytime, I have not checked. I will take some more pics later and let you know!

That looks good, but I really want to see the daytime brake pics.

Thank you for the compliments!
I just picked up some chairs at the furniture store, and the man there was checking out the H3 he really liked it. He said "I really like the way they blacked out the lights!"
That was cool!
