They don't exist. Looks like your going to be doing or having some CUSTOM work done to your car to get what you want. Expect to pay $$$$ per each headlight and taillight.

Please don't black out your lights. You drive a safe vehicle, blacking out the lights makes it harder for people to see your taillights, increasing the risk of being rearended.

Let him do what he wants to do. VHT Nightshades in a spray can will black out your taillights nicely. I would suggest going to a junk yard and picking up a spray set to work on... I personally wouldn't blacken your taillights a lot. It is what people use to know your breaking.

As for your headlights I would suggest looking into a product called Xpel. It is a protective covering. I have seen them and they can come in other colors like SMOKED which is what you'd probably want. I wouldn't blacken your headlights as that is what you see with. The Xpel should get you the results you want. There might be other products like it on the market too.

did some of the later s80s before the body change not have LED rear lights? mine has incandescent bulbs, but i swear i have seen a 99-06 with LED brake lights. that might be a worthy upgrade for someone like us with earlier models.

custom is the way to go with the taillights,, but i have found halo's on ebay for my 00 s80 but they were wanting close to a $1000 just for headlights so it would be your choice just keep looking
