. Maybe you can use that spray-on tint like they use on plastic convertible windows but it's sometimes a little cloudy looking...

I've seen stick-on films with a slightly reflective psychodelic tint (i.e. multi-colored and changes with the angle you look at it). They're available here in HK if anyone's interested.

That was my suggestion exactly but the taillights don't get any heat when compared to the xenon headlights. I am wondering if the paint will end up blistering and bubbling up. That will be a big mess...

The tint spray lasts, but reapplication would be necessary on say a yearly basis or so...
