I took a quick trip up to VIP and just told them to order me tail light blackouts, not sure what company made them, but i would imagine all of VIP would order from the same company. They were pretty expensive though, $75

You can just use a can of Niteshade and make your own, there are a few write-ups, it's easy.

~$15

I don't recommend getting your headlights blackened, as it's illegal in some states and completely KILLS driving at night. Even with HIDs.

But yes you can use it on headlights...

It's just a bit of wet-sanding, light layers, wet-sanding, and clear coating :P
