Careful, you don't know what it might do to the lens.

When I did mine, my tail lights eventually cracked. Just a warning...

Why not experiment on the originals first in case something does go wrong or you dont like it.

Can't cover the reflectors. Open the lens and black house them if anything.

I personally would just do black housings or a light coat or 2 of VHT. If you used plasti dip and only do a light coat so you can still get light you will have trouble getting it off and if you go too thick youll be able to get it off but won't see light.
