Blacking out tail lights is essentially the same process of doing the headlights

VHT makes a spray that you can buy. All you do is spray it on and let dry.. Looks really good did it on a couple of bikes with there tail lights and turn signals.

Most people separate the lens from the housing, then paint the reflective portion black. Then seal them back.

Why risk having water get in your lights. This is by far the easiest way.

Because by painting the inside, you only paint the housing, with VHT, you are spraying the outer cover, and thus, dimming your lights! I had this on the head and tail lights of my Celica and the lights were much dimmer and harder to see! Better off to paint the inside!
