    Anything that darkens the reflectors on the rear of your car is likely to cause issues...

    The factory darkened lights you can see on some cars are done in such a way as to be road legal and not affect light output - any foreign paint on the inside of your light clusters is likely to reduce light output.

    Next time you see a car with darkened lights at night - notice how their reflectors likely don't function well either - and if you don't darken the reflectors too it'll look odd.
