best way to tint (smoke) tails, heads, fogs, etc?

First off, I've got to replace one of my tail lights, as it has a crack in it.

Once that's done, what is the best way to tint them? My MINI is black, and I'm painting the stock s-lites black soon (powdercoat actually), then I'm going to black out all the chrome on the car as well (door handles, grille, window trim, etc) so I want to tint all the lights black. Headlights, fogs, reverse light, tails, 3rd brake, even the lights I've got on my grille (the driving light things)

What's the best way to go about doing this?

Find someone in your area that tints with Lamin-X (or do it yourself, if you're brave).

The Moss stuff is pretty sweet. I have the side markers done. Look in Gen.1 under Interior/Exterior and show me your blackout. Theres a bunch of people with it. I just wish it was a little darker but thats no biggie. In daylight up close its a little dimmer but in lower light it looks mad sweet.
