As of right now Headlight Armor is my first choice. But I was just wondering about the window tints on the taillights.

Window tint is designed for glass on the inside of the vehicle, not on a plastic lens outside. You might be able to fit it but it might not last long and it will likely be hard to remove down the road. Given that your tint shop may use a much thicker material designed for lights, just ask them to be sure.

We have heard of a few drops of gloss black being added to a clear coat and then sprayed onto the lenses. It is a difficult process but can look great when done. It is more difficult to get light to shine through with paint - just the nature of paint. It is also relatively permanent. Just keep that in mind when working out a contingency plan for if somebody doesn't like your tinted lights, or for when you sell or turn in your vehicle off lease.
Lots of options available.
