Get silver ones if you don't mind the possibility of being pulled over.

They're reflective for a reason.

Do it man.
Turnsignal 1
Rear signal
Much cheaper than buying blackouts, no working about them getting stolen or falling off and much cleaner look. I have yet to be pulled over and have them on my rear tails and had them on the Camaro. My Camaro was silver and w/ tint, the car looked extremely good.

There's this stuff you can get from a company called VHT. They make hi-temp paints for engines. The stuff's called Nite Shades. I bought some a while back but haven't used it yet.

Basically it's a spray-on black out. You just have to make sure the lenses are clean and smooth.

I've seen pics of them done, and they look like real blackouts, only they cost you the $9 for the spray.

I don't know and maybe 95 Mystic TA will reply, but I've never seen turn signal blackouts. Its likely either plastic window tint, or the tint spray. They do look good though!

Oh yeah the most important thing that was just brought up its not legal to have it that way. Some light shines but not much.

A State Trooper would have a field day with your car.

I just wanted to chime in, I have all my exterior lights blacked out. The Front Turn Signal Black outs and Fog Light Black Outs were purchased from www.yearone.com / www.nextgenparts.com, The Tail light black outs are AVS brand. But for the 3rd brake light and rear turn signals, I also used the black out paint. Though, I used a model spray paint called "Transparent Black" that works great and is available at any crafts store.
Here are some pictures:
Front
Back

Since these pictures I have installed Black Wheels, and Black Pontiac Fill INs for the rear bumper.
Good Luck
Nathan
