Yes, pick up some VHT nightshade, I used rustoleum brand tint but I feel like it dries darker. Just take the light housings out, and spray them from a decent distance and in a garage or something with no wind. Only do like 3 coats max because otherwise it gets too dark to see the light. If you just do a few you won't need LEDs. If you do go too dark... Get a rag and brake cleaner, spray the rag and rub, it comes off fairly easy. I am interested in the led idea if anyone has anything...
