Options on tinting the rear (3rd) brake light?

What options do I have on tinting the rear center brake light on the window? Are there overlays I can use? I think my rear window would look cleaner if the entire window is tinted. Please see the photo below:

Ask the tint people to do it, they didn't do mine the first time either, I refused to pick it up/pay until they did.

+1

I have the OEM dark glass/privacy glass option, and then the whole glass is darker, even where the brake light is.

My entire rear window is tinted. Just ask your tint installer to tint the whole back window.
