Don't do it. If you can get a decent finish in the first place, it will 
flake off eventually and make your lights a lot less bright (want to 
improve your car's looks? It doesn't look half as good when someone 
rear-ends you...)

Unfortunately, the only one who ever made black taillights for the B2 
(4k/80/90) was Treser, and it was arguably the only good thing they made. 
Treser parts are NLA and command high prices when you find new old stock items.
