Smoked corner lenses?

I was about to order the clear front side markers from custommaxima.com (no rears, I don't think they look quite as hideous on my black car), and I started wondering if anybody knew of anybody that makes the front corners in a smoked color? I think that would look better than clear corners on dark cars.

Any info? How hard woudl it be to "smoke" them yourself?

I was planning on retaining orange bulbs in the clear corners, as I do believe that corner markers should illuminate orange.

Would the tint effect the orange color of the light?

yes it definitely would. i used night shades on my rears when i had my old bumper, and i had to unhook them because the light shinning through was like a purpleish color.
