Default blacked out lights

Anyone know where I can get dark smoked head lights and tail lights for a 2007 Ram? I do not really want covers, I would rather have the assembly. Would the lights that come with the night runner package work? Thanks

RaiderJay07, I believe his truck has the Night Runner lights in it. As far as blacked out taillights, something much cheaper to try would be to get Nite Shades VHT. Look for those one e-bay. They are only like $12 per can.

Check my sig, night runner headlights. RaiderJay actually had his night runner lights tinted. He also has LED tail lights tinted as well.

I am interested in that tint kit... what do you do, just put those tint strips over the existing lenses? Has anyone had experiences with this or have any reviews. I wonder if they are cut precisely for the fit of the lense. Another thing I am curious of is how much decrease in light I would have from putting these on, ie: at Night.

Im sure it would look better to paint inside the headlight assembly, but that seems a little daunting and nerve-racking to me... Dont know if I could handle it!

can you split the rear light to paint inside? can't afford tails and heads just yet. think i'm gonna put LED bulbs in and shade the tails, but those stick on ones aren't quite dark enough for me

I have the stick on vinyl tint on my Nightrunner headlights. I wouldn't do this if you dont have HID's though since you will really diminish the output for night time driving.

On eBay, look up one for our trucks. The one that I read answered all of those questions that you have, since I had them also. It showed the different shades of colors. Depending on the shade, it's different light outputs. A light smoked lets like 87% of light out. A dark smoke is 60 some percent. I'll look for that link again for you real quick. It also said that they are a perfect cut for the headlights.

Here you go, here is the link to one for our lights. Read this one a little bit, and it should answer all of your questions.
