How do you smoke your tail lights?
There are many methods for smoking tail lights. You can send them to a shop that specializes in lights and that can tint your tail lights for you. You can purchase automotive paint, mix with clear coat, and apply thin layers until the desired tint is reached. You can use custom made films to cover the outside of your lights, or even use window tint rolls. Whatever you do, do not spray paint your tail lights. Do it right if you are going to do it, or you will regret having done it at all. Also make sure that it is legal to have tinted lights in your state/country. Most states/countries it is legal, as long as your lights, when on, are visible from apprx 1000 feet. That is all! You can find many threads and suggestions just google 'how to smoke tail lights'.

In California Can I tint my rear tail lights so they are a bit darker?
I also live in California & was looking into tinting my rear tail lights to black on my 2008 scion xB. This is what I found....If you look up the vehicle code of California, it states that "(e) Taillamps shall be red in color and shall be plainly visible from all distances within 500 feet to the rear except that taillamps on vehicles manufactured after January 1, 1969, shall be plainly visible from all distances within 1,000 feet to the rear. " Go tohttp://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc24600.htmto read the whole tail light vehicle code for California. Needless to say, Im sure that if you tinted them anyway, you will be pulled over & given a fix it ticket by the CHP & then it would cost you more $$ and time to repace the tail lights. Im not going to go through all that, they can just stay red... I have received 2 tickets in California for this -- tinting of the tail lights. One 3 months ago, and one just this week. The first one was referring to the answer you've listed above -- the "red in color, visible 1000 feet". I had the ticket signed off by an officer, without changing the tint on the tail lights. However, the ticket I received this week refers to another vehicle code that states that you MAY NOT alter any vehicle light equipment unless it is D.O.T. approved equipment, which tinted tail lights are not. And, this is NOT a fix-it ticket -- there is a fine and you cannot just remove the lenses and pay a $10 administrative fee. Needless to say, I am not happy. I wish the officer who signed off on the first ticket (who was the watch commander of the office) would have told me the lights were not legal... it would have saved a lot of time, upset and money.
