Look around at local performance shops or online for spray tint. Worse comes to worse, you could do what my friend did to his black escort gt and get black spraypaint and do light coats until you get them how you want them.1991 Mazda 323 GTR Sedan

what i did was i took three 3" circles and i evenly spaced them on the lower lense of my tail light, then i masked off the top lense to avoid over spray. then get some heat paint, put 2 coats on, then use your body colour on it, let dry for 24 hours, peel off the circles, and then tint the top lense (when the bottom lense is tinted its very hard to see the light, thats why i only tinted the top one). then after that you can polish them, clear coat them, all depending on how good of a job you did.
and then you get a custom looking tail light with tint and body colour. the circles give it that rx-7 affect when you have your lights on. turned out nice.
good luck
