YouTube - How to: Nightshade/Darken/Tint/Blackout Car Taillights.
available at any autoparts store. check out the comments for tips on that one.
YouTube - West Coast Customs - Smoked Tail Lights
the professional way. i have done that before and it works better in the long run, just more money.
YouTube - Eurolight Headlamp Coloring Kit
the video says it all. this was actually only recently brought to my attention by another member.
YouTube - Applying Blue Headlight & Tail Light Film by DECALFX.COM
this type of film is available at decalfx.com and used to be available at rockblocker.com, but i can't find that site.

all methods require a certain degree of patience and skill, but i prefer spraying. i, of course, used to do paint so i have a different view than others. the film is not like window film. it is fairly thick and kind of difficult to work with. patience is the key though.

Or are you talking about blacking out the inside vs. the lens?

icspots do you have any videos or tutorials about the blacking out of the inside of headlights, as in the pictures you have above?

Umm, nope, no tutorials. You can find how to's on installing angel eyes on any number of Mazda forums which will show you how to open the headlights. From there you sand prime paint clear and reassemble.
