Contact CL vendor "Aerotect". I believe they carry pre-cut colored overlays for tail lights.
Excellent products & service

Here is their website http://www.aerotect.net/aerotect_022.htm

Headlights are a BIG no no in NJ. Tail lights can be dark as you want them, but the reverse lights need to be showing plain color.
