Instead of doing as the person above said, you may be able to purchase spray on tint which will do the same thing. If you want to last all you do is spray a clear coat over the tint, if not the tint will start to fade with time.

this is a custom trick, and im going to tell you how to do it, but if you don't do it carefully you'll ruin your taillights. remove your taillights. clean them with dishsoap and water. blow them dry with compressed air. clean them down with pre clean. get some candy brown paint mixed up at the paint store. spray some light coats of adhesion promoter over the taillights and let to dry. be sure the adhesion promoter is clear, as some have a color to them. mix up the candy brown with reducer and hardener, and apply light coats till the lens is the black color that you want. should take no more than three or four coats. the brown paint looks black over the red lense, and still shines red when you apply the brake.

WHat you need is something called vht nightshade. Its tinting spray for rear lights and headlights.

just use black masking tape, like the kind they sell at a hardware store. your black taped rear lights will look just as crappy as spray painting them will, and be just as illegal.
