There are a couple of ways you can do it. 1. is google and find a place that sells a film. Its like window tint but cut to fit your lights. 2. is find a can of night shade or a similar product. Its basically a spray paint but for tail lights. 3. they make plastic covers that you stick to the tail lights. ( friend had them, dont buy them they suck lol.) These are just general ways to do it. i dont know whats around for the evo so you will need to check.
my 2 cents, buy the night shade or film.

tint would be best, make sure they are clean, like massively clean them before doing so.

Dude, NEVER NIGHT SHADE your lights EVER!!! its not tint thats used for blacking out your tails, what is used is vinyl. I had mine done for $70. Dont try it urself because its pretty difficult and you need a hot gun to stretch the vinyl around the pointy edges. Night shades

I use a can of night shades from VHT. Works wonders but remember its none removable so its a permanent option. I wipe down all lenses with alcohol then spray em. I have used it on all my cars and here is pic of mine now. Here is also a link to where I got mine http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/vhtnigpain.html
