Default Smoked front blinkers?

Where can you get good smoked front blinkers for an 02 camaro? I got some from ebay which looked amazing but the plastic was so terrible that it melted from the heat of the lights and kept blowing bulbs and filling up with moisture...I'm looking for a good quality kit from someone who is reputable.

Thanks

Don't think you'll find any different quality. Just seal them up. I got my smoked ones from ebay and used LED"s to keep from melting.

Did you have to rewire to make the LEDs work? Do you have a link to the ones you used?
