A trick I have found for tinting scale model windows is to use the solar film used on household windows. The peel type is thin and the correct shade. It can be cut into any size and shape with a hobby knife. Try it.

I haven't used anything like this for models but I have used Tamiya Smoke X-19 on kit chrome to tone it down and give it depth and works great. This is supposed to be used for tinting windows/ glass. It all depends on how dark you want your taillights to be as this stuff is a light tint. I suppose one could add some Tamiya Acrylic Black to the Smoke to darken it though.
