I did it myself without the overlay. I just used some nite shades spray tint and masked off the clear part of the tailights. I am very happy with my result. Check mine out here:

The overlays are moderately easy to install, but there is a learning curve to it. Especially because our lights are both curved and intricate. My first attempt they looked ok, but learned a few new skills on how to install them. The second set was much better (I had help) but was also imperfect, so I took those off too. One more time....
