Lightbulb Smoked clear corners?

Ok, I just bought another pair of clear corners for my car since the old ones started leaking bad. I saw a thread on here with a link to the already smoked corners on ebay a day after i bought them. Well since the company has a no return policy, I was wondering how can i smoke them myself? Do i use a certain type of spray or wat? I do NOT want them blacked out by any means, just a little darker. Think it will look good?

I know you can buy paint made just for that but I don't think It would be very practical unless you want to cut the clears in half. Aiming the nozzel in there would be hard and leave the paint uneven. You might be able to brush it though, just a thought.

I smoked my clear corners with vht night shades. Just be carefull not to get them to dark. The first time I painted mine I put about 4 coats on & they didnt look that dark until I put them on the car. Then they were solid black. I sanded them down, put 2 coats on them & I think they look good now.
