I'd love to add a dark smoke or black element to the main headlights on my '22 ER Lariat Lightning.
Has anyone found a good DIY cut for a wrap or spray?

Also hoping to black out the lights on the back (on bed door and above rear window, step lights too)!

Any advice and links would be much appreciated!

I blacked mine out. It’s not DIY, but wasn’t bad. they took the lights off the truck and used a paint inside - they called it “smoke”. Not sure what kind of paint it is.
A friend tinted the front bar and doesn’t like it. Said he has to push the tinting down around the edges each day. It’s such a small area it keeps coming up.
im happy with the paint.

How much light passes through it at night?

No issues at night. The taillights are pretty darn bright still (red) and the light bar (which is only a design choice, headlights were never touched and work as normal) shines bright, but has a bit of a yellowish tint due to the black paint inside, which you can see at night. That's not my favorite part, I wish it was bright white at night, but during the day this is the best look IMO and I know a few people who haven't liked the tinting, so... ? Good luck!
