Blacked out side lights...where to buy?

Where can i get the side marker lights in a dark color?

I did search and could not find any threads. Even googled but i might have the name for them wrong.

THanks for the help!

I wanted mine to be no more than 50% tinted (ie, I did not want full black, but you can do that by simply applying more coats of the tint paint).

Did you paint inside or outside of the side markers?

Did you end up using the spray can paint?
If so how many coats did you use to get it black?

I think it would look better if you shave it off. Painting it would only give it a ricer look.

Care to elaborate?
I would assume you mean to eliminate the cover and have it flush against the bumper?

If so.....how would you go about doing that while maintaining the light?

there is a thing called spray on tint. Worked wonders for me. just make sure to do mild sanding so that it holds. but it looks nice as if it came stock....been asked many times in person if it did.
