Tinted Rear lights

Saw the saloon on the site with the back lights tinted black and it looks great!!
I think it would look really good on my dark aubergine saloon too as i've never been really keen on the look of the rear light cluster... theres just something not right there.. cant put my finger on it... either too low.. too small....dunno 
Anyway thing I'm concerned about is.. is it legal
second thing i'm concerned about (Being Scottish) Halfords want £15!!! for a tiny wee spray can of the stuff!!!
Anyone able to shed light on the first one and undercut the second? 
Cheers
HL

if you want to do a dry run,nick some of your missus' black stockings and pull them tight over the light lenses,should give you an idea of the final effect. As for doing it cheaper,or to be different,mix 5% body colour with 95% clear lacquer and spray over your existing lenses.

yes that is kevs car...
and yes,he still does have it,(well at the moment anyway,very soon it will be being driven around the roads of somerset ).....
but back to the original question,to tint the rear lights,kev used the aerosol spray stuff you can buy in halfords,and if i remember correctly,he only used the 2 layers,any more than 2,and the bulbs are quite difficult to see....

I started to do my spare facelift rear set yesterday with the spray stuff. As for being legal, does anyone remember the rear lights from the J and K reg Sierras, they were almost black and then there was the rear lights on the late granadas again, very dark compared to the earlier models
Sorry about the fingerprint!!
Found a pic of the Sierra rear lights
Or this one from the celco website

Evening Baz,
Would these darkened covers then be candidates for LED rear bulbs?

Well, life has been pretty hectic, mostly work and not enough time for serious fun stuff like Scorps.
I may not be around much in reality but am certainly here in spirit.
I thought LEDs cos I seem to remember that they are brighter. Certainly the ones that I have seen in Beemers and the like.
Its an interesting theme because I think that whilst the Scorpio rear lights are good, they really could do with being better.
Yours is going to be quite spectacular with the Angel Eyes and tints at the back.
