Blacked out MS6 tails

I've decided that I don't like the chrome in my MS6 tails. Has anyone blacked theirs out? If not, can anyone photoshop it?
 
Does anyone have these tail lights on their 6? Preferably on Ti Gray. I'd like to see some pics before I go and buy some or black mine out.

actually, the only ones on eBay are the hk-plus euros (of which I have heard mixed feelings about the quality).... those seem to still have the same chrome trim rings with the only difference being that they are bulge-less.
Take a look at the regular Mazda6 06-07 tail lamps, they should meet your no chrome requirements...
 
I'm considering tinting my tail lights....... not because I don't like the chrome but I just want the blacked out look to go with my Black Cherry and my tinted windows.....

hate to bump an old thread, but do the updated tail lights fit the '04 mazda 6s? my girl purchased some ebay chrome replacement ones about 3 years ago when her boss backed into the car and offered to replace them. i greatly dislike the chrome look, and really like to keep things clean and OEM.

i went to the dealership today, and they couldnt verify if they fit or not without having me buy them on backorder, and test fit them myself. i tried to search, but no luck :(

this thread reminds me of those covers we used to put on our headlights back in the day... unlike the tails (which can look cool without sacrificing safety) the headlight covers were about as dumb an idea as tight rolling your jeans. I mean really... people pay extra or xenon so they can see MORE of the road... if I have to put my high beams on just so I can match the intensitiy of my low beams... I'm probably a complete tool
 
I don't even want to black out my taillights anymore.... I saw some pics of the JDM tails (no bump on the corner!!!!!!!) and the housing looks BLACK, not chrome like the ones on my MS6 now.

I'd like to get a pair of those........but at $400, it's A LOT cheaper to go the spray paint alternative.

All one needs is VHT Nightshades and some Clear Coat......

2 coats of the Nightshades (that means let the first coat dry, for some that may not know)

and then 1 coat of the Clear Coat.

and in case more people aren't aware...... it's a lot easier to paint the lights if you remove them from your car instead of trying to tape off the area and paint them while they are on the car.
 
Heres a pic of my tails using 3 coats of niteshades. I didnt tint over the reverse, turn or brakes just around them since cops would pull me.

The euro tails have the chrome accents as well

I've actually seen THREE different kinds...... and the fact you said EURO and not JDM, makes me think you're not thinking of the same taillights as I am........ I've seen a normal, all chrome, and all black......

That looks really nice, blacking it out except for the specific lights. I wonder how it looks all blacked out though.
