Window tint head and tail light cover?

Hey, has anyone heard of using window tint to do custom head and tail light covers to darken them? What would be the con's of this?

i went to a tint shop to get my tails done and the tint used is like 5 times thicker than a window tint....... so, more durable.

also, tints can be peeled off if ever needed.... if installed right, there are no cons

Any pics? Also can they do the headlights with the same tint? Would it look nice on the headlights?

I am going to write up a D-I-Y for this most likely today. I will let you know how it goes and how it looks.
