Default Blobeye wagon rear lights - what can I do?

My black blob WRX wagon is starting to look half decent now with some mods on it. It's a 2003 model.the one thing letting down the rear is the tail lights! They're a combination of chrome and red. And I can't stand the chrome!

Has anyone seen any methods of modding the tail lights to blend a bit better? I'm considering tinting film for the chrome section, or possibly even paint.... But I'm just not sure. I don't want it to look chavvy and rubbish. I need something that looks smart and possibly even oem. Anyone got any ideas? Or any images of other peoples cars?

I'll pop an image up of the back of my car in a min.

From their site:
Introducing FlyEyesKit

Tinting your vehicle's headlights and rear lamps can look great, but normally it's a time consuming
and fiddly job. FlyEyesKit are the world's first to introduce a new ultra flexible tinting material for
vehicles headlamp and rear lights that can be applyed in minutes


Our film is designed to comply with MOT Lighting Regulations 2012. A honeycomb of perforated
holes within the films structure allows your natural light to pass through the film without compromising
your desired glossy tint effect. FlyEyesKit allows full function of rear reflectors, will alter your
projecting colour, does not affect your beam patternn and only negligibly affects brightness,
regardless of which colour tint is applied.




Other tinting methods such as solid vinyl film overlays or tinting sprays are illegal for road use,
these products will significantly alter your projecting beam colour and will seriously affect the workings
of rear reflectors.


FlyEyesKit is incredibly flexible and can be reapplied over and over again to ensure perfect bubble
free results. FlyEyesKit will stretch around any acrylic light casing in minutes by using your bare hands
and can be removed quickly without leaving any glue residue for upto five years after application.


No lamp removal or specialised tools are required, we provide a carft knife, plastic application tool
and simple to follow instructions with each kit for you to get started straight away. FlyEyesKit will not
melt or shrink in most vehicle lamp fixtures*, and is resistant to road debris and harsh weather
conditions. Your can continue to wash your vehicle as normal without affecting your tint.
