Black tail lights

Hello all. Just a new guy with a quick question.

Where can I find jet black tail lights for an '08 W204?

I want to keep the original assemblies separately.

Thanks!

you can have it tinted with a laminated film, and take it off when you don't want it

Sounds like it's fairly easy. Steady hands and a little patience is required. There are several posts on the site that talk about pros/cons of different types of film.

I was just checking out the vid on DIY on a M3 which seems pretty simple. However, the C class tail lights are way more curved than that. Has anyone done it already???
