I painted my taillights, i dont disagree with anyone that tints them either. You cant go wrong with either method just depends what your looking for. I wanted a almost full black 1% transparency, so i had to paint them.

Painted. It just looks better. I've seen Lamin-X...it's alright, nothing wrong, but you don't have film edges with paint.
