how to do it and how much?
better to DIY? or to get it done at a shop?

Your rear tailights should come out pretty easy maybe a few nuts on each one. As for the tail lens paint VHT Nite-Shades, Speedtech sells them I'm not sure how much though. It all depends on how dark you want them. Do 2 light coats (to prevent drip marks) and if that isn't dark enough do another coat.

is that done outside or inside the headlight?

Always spray the outside of the taillights. Make sure you wash the surface before you start.

I've just got mine re-sprayed again today. As Junior said, VHT Nite-Shades is the most common brand that you could find in the market. I did at least four coats before I feel it is dark enough.

Keep in mind, you may need to re-spray them again in every 2 years.

Mugen C

That's right! Outside of the taillight housing.

Something like the picture below:

You will get a much nicer finish if you can take the lights off the car., and put them on the ground in an area that is away from wind and dust. Less of a chance of it running.

And don't get addicted to the smell of it!

That's right! Make sure you take the lights off your car or you'll be sorry!
