Default Darker tailights that work with BLIS?

Has anyone found an aftermarket taillight that works with BLIS?

I have 502A with BLIS (which I like) - but, sheesh the taillight looks cheap against my black paint. Which is ironic, considering the replacement is like $700 bucks.

I'd love a tinted version that blends a little better.

I've seen them all over w/o BLIS - but, so far nothing that works with BLIS.

Appreciate the help.

Don't think they make anything yet but most people have their sprayed and it turns out really well if the person knows what they are doing.

Blis, or at least the radar part is actually molded into the tail light. It can not be moved, so no one is selling replacements. the only replacement you would be able to get is another one From Ford which are pretty expensive.

What other people are doing is using VHT Niteshade which can darken the tail lights. Mask off the back up lights, as this will dim that as well. The VHT Niteshade will allow BLIS to work through it.

I have seen also plastic molded covers for the tail lights. However I have not seen one that workd with BLIS. Doesn't mean they aren't out there.

Another alternative you could try something like Lamin-x which is a laminate film
