there are generally two ways to smoke the tailights. the first is to use paint and to spray it on, this method is the bestway to get the darkest color but its permanet and cannot be undone. the next way is to use an overlay or vinyl covering. the problem with that method is that its hard to get it real dark, but at least it can be undone. me personally the tailights on my rx are done with vinyl, including the third brakelight and turn signals
