Do you mean darken as in tint? Use flyeyes. I've got that. Just subtle but and it's legal too.

It's a kind of honeycomb film and you stretch it over the lights. Easy enough to put on and it's cheap too. Bout £13 for a roll and that did all of my lights.

Do a search for laminex, there was a post in the off topic a few months ago. Amazing stuff, possibly a little expensive
