It is a film fitted over the OE light units, I have the same.
Bonnie did send me a web address but I cant find it anywere8) they come from the states and were about $30 if I mind right.
Take the rear lights out and they are easy to fit with soapy water and time.

You could jst pop to Halfords and buy a can of Tail light tint spray.
It come in black red and green and u jst spray it on the clusters when removed from the car. Remember that by law your car has to have reflectors on the rear, in most modern cars these are included in the tail lights so buy placing film or spray over the top u restrict the reflectiveness and can fail the MOt or get pulled by the fuzz.
Another cheep option is to pay a visit to tesco and but the darkest pair of black tights they sell and strech each leg over the clusters and double them up.. wolla you have black rear clusters with out damaging the original ones...
Hope This Helps

Good point, however, the film does allow the tail lights reflectors to be seen also, the brake and side lights shine through very well :)

There are now two different types of replacement rear light available as the fog light has been moved to the middle, and the reverse light moved to the tail lights on the current facelift. Make sure you buy the correct type.
