Just paint the lense with rc car smoke paint, or this stuff called night shade. Night shade is for darkening the lense but rc car smoke paint looked better.

I used rustoleoum lens tint from Autozone and a clearcoat on top of it, it takes patience and a steady hand practice a little with it unless you are good at spraying

I used VHT night shade and it works perfectly and looks really good. You just gotta make sure you don't go crazy with it and use so much that you can't see the light anymore. Usually 1 or 2 coats does the trick!

AutoVentShade

They were about 60 bucks and are a full lens. This way, if you get pulled over, you can pop them off
