local shops can do them, there isnt anyone selling them like that, you can have anything "smoked" turn signals, tail lights, even headlights if your daring.

with some info from the rsx forum, i found this red film that they use to cover up the orange turn signal lenses. i found the distributor of the film and found out that they have the film in many other colors other than red. so i ordered the film in "dark gray" and in "middle gray". i used the dark gray on the rear turn signals and the middle gray on the bumper lenses, although you can't really see them in the pic, but the bumper lenses are actually smoked too. its a color in between the white and the jdm smoked lenses, matches ss really nicely. the advantage of using the film is that you can remove it without any damage to the lenses. the film is guaranteed to last 5 years and is suitable for ourdoor use. hope this info helps.

i tried to do the taillights, but gave up cuz the taillights are so big that its hard to get the film on without bubbles. also when you do the taillights, you run the risk of getting pulled over by the police. i'll probably try again sometime soon.
