Default how do ya black out lights???

I am just wondering if anyone knows how to back out the amber color on your turn singnals and taillights. I know I have seen it done on a few older cars to get rid of the orange color, and I think that people use some type of transarent tinted spray, I have also seen it done in red. Well if ya know just tell me what to get, thanks.

A friend of mine made a fire and litterally used the smoke to smoke out his lights. Came out real nice.

If you go to a hobby shop they have like a special translucent enamel paint u can get to spay them darker yourself. On the other hand, a fire is cheaper plus you get to burn things...
