There are a few ways to do it. Some members here have a tinted overlay that goes over the lights, some used spray like Nite Shade and the like.
I scuffed my lights down with a scuff pad and sprayed it myself with 4:1 (Black paint : reducer) with an HVLP spray gun, and then cleared it. Two thin coats gave me a darker cherry red. Any body shop should be able to do this for you for relatively cheap.

Yeah the tint overlay is probably the best way to do it for the reason that Anthonyy said, you can go back to oem whenever you prefer. I am going to do mine this way also.
