I know I wouldn't like the black-out lights, but it's all preference.

It looks good for the gray paint, but does somewhat disappear in direct sunlight.
Looks good , can i get a link on which one you bought. Also how do you apply it

Whoops - I unintentionally fibbed - as I looked into it, I bought the head / tail light films off of amazon, from Lamin-X protectors:

The tail light films were fairly easy to install - just use a lot of water with a couple drops of baby shampoo or dawn, position and use a rubber squeegee to evacuate the water out - look at some videos on youtube.
I also did the front lights, bumper and hood, it looks pretty amateur (smudgy/ripply) up close, but from a few feet away it's fine.

Anyway, links:
