Anyone swap out their Tahoe taillights with smoked versions?

I'm looking for suggestions on brand/type and how it looks. Please post pictures if you have. Thanks!

I’m interested in this as well. I see a ton out there on websites or eBay but see very few reviews. Same goes for the smoke/black headlight housings.

Painted with what?
This stuff (tail lights modification)was popular 8-10 years ago,Painted in black paint with 20-30-50% smoke transparent effect. Back in 2008 i have Honda coupe i pay $50 for each tail light to be professional painted 30% transparent in local shop.
Maybe on the picture not noticeable smoke effect on plastic but on day light looks very nice.
I choose very Lowe smoke effect to not get ticket from cop's they will not brake your balls.
Here's a couple of images.

Laminex offers various shades of film that I've used with success in the past!

I tried the Laminex route with my Tahoe and it was a massive pain in the ass to try and apply. I also felt like their version of pre-cut version was way off and didn't really align properly with the 2015 style of lights. After a little back and forth with them I was able to get my money back...perhaps if you have a pro installer do it with just a sheet of it instead of a pre-cut version it would be worthwhile?
