I got this VHT nightshade stuff from e-bay, haven't tried it yet, will probably get some tail lights from the junk yard to try on first.
I've heard the decals can rip off after a while, but with this stuff (VHT) if you do it right, sand, paint, clear, polish, it really comes out looking good.
Haven't had the time to try it yet though.

love the tinted tails, i did mine at my bodyshop, had one of my guys do it, took 20 min to take out lights, 20 to tape and sray, couple of hours to dry and that was that, we installed and wet sanded for better shine and texture.
couldnt be happier, by the way all of the pics on this thread look insane

taillights TT
i have them all reds on my atlas grey TT from day one, with full terracotta leathers; but that smoked tail light with clear glass looks good on a white car.
i suggest that the orange flashers should go white too. LED's can be white and flash orange - i had them on my previous 4CS.
btw, blackened windows effect - wave to your friend and he/she cant see you to wave back.
