Well I like blacked out cars, so yeah I think it would look good. But I would go w/ what YeuEmMaiMai said he aint goin' to stear you wrong. Mybe just go w/ black housing head lights and leave the tail lights alone.

I would suggest having someone maybe you know that works with paint like a bodyshop and have them "smoke" your stock taillights...i plan to do that with my stock tails on my 02 blue accord coupe...that way they aren't going to peel and it gives your car the look alot of people dont have.....

A buddy of mine has a Toyota Tacoma and he just used a light layer of spray paint. They look really good but im not sure if i would trust myself to spray paint my taillights.

I was actually thinking about blackout my tailights as well. A guy who tinted my windows said that tint cannot be used on tailights. It would peel off like crazy after a few weeks. I will probably have my friend who works at the body shop to paint them for me. However, I'm a little bit skeptical if it's legal to do it in my state (IL). I also attach a picture of how would my car look like after this job is done.
