Are there? I think you're right. Although if the red brake light is very visible, how much does it matter after that point? If I were the OP, I'd remove the Niteshade, and then do a few light coats and be done with it. Give it a smoked look, but still have visible lights.

That's a good idea too

The yellow (in the rear) is for turn signals and hazard lights. They don't come on with the park/headlamps or the brakes.

And use the turtle wax polish in the tub. Worked on my s10 lights. Clear coat when finished and they'll look brand new.

Mine faded on their own but you could try weathering them in the sun haha, i actually think mine look better than before because its more of a grey tint and it doesn't block the lights at all

Calm down and don't worry about it. If it happens all you have to do is get a stock set and go to the court house, show them that you fixed it, and pay $25. (At least in CA that's how much it is)

I would go to the home improvement store and get some wet sand paper and try to get a little off so it's not so dark.
I think it looks pretty cool to black out the tail lights but not too dark like that. I like the shade of those 97 tail lights!
