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

Would you be applying from the outside or from the inside??? I would be afraid of it being peeled off from rocks chips and such...

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.

Actually it's mostly a light purply color - many guys do it on the 4WD's here.
BTW, you forgot to mention the Peace and Smiley stickers

Paint them. I've seen the rears smoked (painted) on many cars. I'd guess that the same can be done to the headlights. Can't be removed though.

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...

I did also clear coat after the tint.....
The tint spray lasts, but reapplication would be necessary on say a yearly basis or so...
