Smoked out tail lights -- Help

Hey guys I want to smoke my tail lights but im not sure what the process is or wat the best option is. I read u can get sticker type tints or can buy a whole new lens with the latter being much more expensive. My car is cavansite blue and I would like ur opinion on which tints would look good. Im a complete newb with the percentages so sorry if i dont understand what u say.

Thanks guys!

^^^ doubt it.

you can always bring it to a tint shop to get flim applied to the taillights. Less permanent than painting them should you want to go back to stock.

Nope, not reversible with out a lot of sandpaper.

Start out with a LIGHT coat, let it try, and see what you think. Add more if desired!

i wouldnt recommend going completely black out against the blue. I think the blue/black would clash badly. If anything go cherry red. half smoked like this…

Heyy thanks guys, i dont want to go completely black, somthing like wat 16niss showed is what I am looking for. I prefer something that is reversible so I can remove it incase it looks bad. Il try finidng some sticker type things.
