    its actually better with the regular bulbs because when i put the led brake lights there was only a dot showing through the lens.And with the regular bulb the whole section of the brake lens showed.

    Try using VHT model car paint to black them out. They make one for tinting and I did a bunch of tail lights with them and they lasted years of Hawaii weather. And they don't have that flat black look that regular Krylon fusion does. Who still sells clear lenses for toyota truck housings? Now that's true clean classic 90's mini truck look.

    i was at a parts store the other day and saw a spray bomb paint for tinting tail lights, sounds pretty simple, i don't know if you could buff it if wanted though..
