Try Nightshades spray tint.  I bought covers for the turn/dummy/fog
assembly and spray tinted them.  Then just this past weekend I removed
my stock side blinkers and spray tinted them (with some helpful hints
from SpeedWare, a Redmond Washington tuner).  The covers look pretty
good but my side blinkers turned out awesome.  To get a complete set
of Hella smoked turn/dummy/side blinkers you're looking at $100 easy
and the Nightshades cost a whole $8-10.

BTW, I left a clear circle over the fog light bulb so the light isn't
affected.  Some do not do this....personal preference. 

Just another option.

Cheers,
