    tint that tails for sure. and if you dont want to buy headlights you can take them apart to paint the inside of the housing, as long as u leave the reflector unpainted (i bought th black ones so look at my photobucket for an idea of what they look like)

    agreed. blackin them out just makes ur lights useless. and alot of the aftermarket lights that have blacked out housings run almost 200 bucks a pair. i believe theres a write-up somewhere in here that shows how to do em. dash z, however, is advertising blacked out projectors and black led tails. im considering these but only if i have the money... if not im gonna black the housings on the front at least.

    97-03 Pontiac Grand Prix LED Tail lights - Smoke


    and while im at it i think i found the write-up
