Smoked Bumper Lights

I did a ton of searching and I cant find them ANYWHERE so i figured i would post a thread, does anybody know where i can get front AND rear smoked bumper lights for my 01 Max AE, i can find the fronts from CE but they dont have the rears and i cant find rears anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

just smoke the ones you have. layer of black paint followed by clearcoat. the best part is that they still reflect and light up amber and red.
mine have 3 layers of paint to black them out

Use VHT Nightshade Its like a spray on tint Or you could try out the Bluebatmobile overlay. Personally i did what sooner suggested and i like it.

I used the Night Shades all around on the stock colored corners.

No one makes smoked rear corners yet, and the front ones are not dark enough IMO.

I used lamin-x smoked film, mainly because it could be peeled off and re-applied if cops give me grief(which they haven't, been pulled over twice for speeding and just passed NJ inspection)

Here's the look at my tails, my sidemarkers are smoked using the same film.
