welcome dude
you can do the lights quite easily yourself i would have thought. search this site and im sure youll find some info about doing it.
for the alloys, depends how much you mean by cheapish? are you looking for brand new?

Rear light tint spray is about £12 a tin IIRC from halfrauds, give it a good clean with white spirits and remove all dust etc, then just start coating the lights with the spray, lots of thin coats is better than a few heavy ones.

Cant help on wheels I'm afraid

The rear light are easy to do, even did my front n side indicators with the same spray, and the wheels altho i liked the silver were chipped and scrached all over the place and now they look like new on cheapo funds, so i'm happy
