depends on the cost of both mate
can get nite shades from work for $19 a can and i guess u just spreay it on the inside of your existing tail lights, prolly be cheaper this way.
dunno wat the price is of a set of berlina lights
hope that helps
cheers

night shade - tinted = illegal
berlina lights = legal
the berlina tail lights look very good and are proberly as dark as i would want, i have berlina lights on mine stock and they are perfect witha black garnish
night shade i have seen done and had of a fellow person complin as they almost went up his as and that was at night
