Black lights

After about 3 seconds of soul searching, I have decided that I must have a set of those smoked tail lights with (I assume) LED lights. I see several options on EBay. I certainly don't want to deal with any electrical problems. Who is the best source for a simple swap?

Tint film is pretty simple and you can control the tint level. I'm thinking of doing my spare OEM set.

I've been running Depo LED tail lights for a couple years with no issues if LED is what you're after.

But that would include dremel work to remove the amber, correct? Probably not for me. Meanwhile, my headlights. What do I need to send you?

I thought we were talking about tail lights
No Dremel work to put tint film on tail lights...

Particlewave, so the color parts just come off the tail lights? That would be handy. But I still want you to do my headlights this winter if you can.
Jaykay, what do you want for the brake light?

I will stick to my original price in the listing. It did cost me a lot more...but hey

It could be plug and play depending on the year of your car. Otherwise you must reverse two leads in the connector as per the Maxspeed site. One only knows after plugging it in.

Not exactly black but I got these from FVD for $50 shipped a year ago. Had to use my bulbs and circuit board but I am happy for the price:
