^+1. Do you mean smoked like they just put the film/tint over the tail lights or do you mean the reverse lights? 04-05 reverse clear, 06-08 dark. If it's a film/tint you should be able to remove it with some heat, soap and water. Hopefully the person didn't spray paint it.

I think he means they are COMPLETELY tinted...not just the reverse. Right Kaboosh? Like this?

It's probably just a film tint. You would have to peel it. Doubt that its been painted.

as mentioned by sortudo7, if they were taken apart and sprayed then your friend is SOL, and would have to get new tails.. but they could just be bluebatmobile stick-on tints in which case they should peel off.
