Film or Spray?

Hey all i've been wanting to tint my taillights but i've been thinking if i should go with the film or the spray...

I ordered some films from bluebatmobile a while back but i took it off because it was to light for me. I want my taillights to be black...literally until my lights come on. I dont know if this level of darkness can be achieved with the film. I was also thinking about doing it myself by ordering some niteshades, but i'm afraid i will mess up and make it uneven. I also heard that with the spray it tends to feel weird after every car wash. But then again other people say that the film is bad also and it doesn't last or what not. Any inputs?

Also i want to tint my turning lights, its best if i order it from laminx?

If you want to use Nightshades I suggest getting them clear coated. This will protect the tailights from scratching and paint wearing off after every car wash. I plan on buying it my self and clear coating them afterwards. I have a gun and compressor. If you don't have your own gun and compressor have a local shop clear coat them for you. Last time I checked they were going to charge me $100 to do both.

spray man, you don't need a shop to do it though. I did mine, and they are BLACK, but I clearerd, wet sanded, and buffed so they look perfect. only downside is removal, but spray looks 1000x better then film. also did my cornering lights and third brake light as well.
