I can i get some help here?
I ve been searching the forum for about half an hour and i want to give up.
instead im finding threads about smoked tail lights. Im looking for smoked turn signals instead of red-outs people get. And i remember seeing it on someones car before. thanks for the help!

You have two options:
(1) Get the taillights spray tinted.
(2) Get tinted overlays.
Of the two, #2 is easier and less committal...

Definitely overlays is the non permanent solution, especially if you ever decide to change it up in the future.

you can get darker than this if you want, because Aertect has a darker one

While overlays look nice and allow you more options later on. im a tad bit bias when i say painting them is the way to go
the clean look cant be beat

absolutely not! it does not look right at all. maybe if you smoke out the bottom portion of the taillights and not just the turn signal...including the reverse is what I'm saying

I dont think just the turn signals will work with the smoke option. Either red outs or smoke the entire lens will look cleaner. IMO
