Does anyone know where i could find a set of blacked out taillights? I'm looking for something that is like a 98 Jetta GT.
 
1. my/cheap way :autozone can of gloss black and clear coat spray paint
2. check out the "rockblocker" thread in the groupbuy for sale section
peace

no company sells one, you'd have to do something like Thapro1 mentioned and go custom. A while back I blacked out a set of tails with VHT night shade spray. it was easy to do and came out right but didn't like how they looked on the car.

heres an idea of what were talking about...of course darkness will vary depending on how many coats you spray
 
thapro1. My bad for threadjacking but please reduce your signature in vertical size. Follow the link in my sig for signature rules thread.
 
heres a few pics

heres a few with blinkers on then the reverse lights the passenger side taillight isn't 100% perfect but you don't really notice it to much
