Default Smoked corner/ bumper lights

Does anyone make smoked corner lights for a 98-02 F-Body? I'm looking for a smoked replacement for the small square ones on the rear bumper of my SS. I believe TA's have two sets, an orange set up front and a rear set that are red like my SS. Does someone make a smoked replacement?


Thanks

i used my stock rear tailights painted them with vht and then used a clear coat to cover them left my reverse lights clear and it looks pretty good imo. then i painted my from turn signals with it.... a little to dark so i bought the 30$ pair of matrix front clears from summit. and am gonna try to mess with those but i cooked them in the oven for 45 minutes on 200* checking every 5-7 minutes to see if they had seperated but they hadnt. Any idea on how to get them seperated?

don't really understand what you're trying to seperate. from your post it seems like your messing with the summit clears but if your trying to get the nightshade(or whatever) , can't you use some paint thinner or acetone to clean it off and retint?
