Default tail lights and turn signals

Has anyone ever used window tint to tint your turn signals and tail lights and if so what % was it? And what leds are you guys using for your turn signals and do they make them for tail lights? Thanks for any help

Yes, pick up some VHT nightshade, I used rustoleum brand tint but I feel like it dries darker. Just take the light housings out, and spray them from a decent distance and in a garage or something with no wind. Only do like 3 coats max because otherwise it gets too dark to see the light. If you just do a few you won't need LEDs. If you do go too dark... Get a rag and brake cleaner, spray the rag and rub, it comes off fairly easy. I am interested in the led idea if anyone has anything...
