You can also use some dark tights, but looks a bit silly when you get a ladder in them. :lol:

:lol: i did the tights thing aswell and got ladders, but then i bought tinting spray and gave it a few layers. i had also bought some black spray paint to spray my mesh. so you can see where this story is going... i went in to give the lights another coat in the tinting spray but used the pure black paint. i thought wow looks a bit dark :lol: it came out extremely dark but you could still see my lights through them at night. i sprayed a coat of laqueur over them as well to get the glossy look. they actually looked wicked and i didnt get a fine from the traffics even though i had them for a year
