Looking for smoked light bar under tailgate

Don't know what the lights are actually called. Some i have found are called sealed streamline clearance lights. These are the three lights that are between the bumper and the tailgate. I am looking for these lights in a smoked lens. I'm not looking for the rope lights that go all the way across the width of the bed. Just the light with three bulbs. Done searching and haven't found any smoked lights. They may not even make them. Wanting to get them to finish of the smoked lenses on the wife's dually. Those are the only lights left on the truck to smoke out.

Another question, if they don't make a smoked light that i am looking for. How hard is it to tint a clear light bar that i have found? Sorry for the rambling. Just wondering if anyone else with a dually has smoked out those lights on their truck. Any and all help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Eric in the description it says it will not fit on a dodge. Wonder why that is?

I remember now, it's to thick and hits the gate when opening, I remember trying one years back at my shop when we put one on a Dmax. Let me find another one.

You would think that there would be more options out there. I was on etrailer and saw some clear lensed led lights. It gave the measurements of the light but im not home to check the gap between bumper and tailgate.

I have not found any led light bars that will fit underneath the tailgate. I have found some oem lights though. The lens that I have on the truck now is cracked so I want to replace it. Question I have is if I go back with the oem light how can I get the cover tinted to march the rest of my lights. Don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb since the others are tinted. Do they make a paint or something that I could use to just paint the new lens to darken it up to match? And by the way them light bars are damn expensive for no more than what they are. I can get 2 led 11 light, light bars off eBay for half of what the oem light is. Also sucks dodge couldn't give a little more clearance there to get them new lights.

Actually went whole different way but still looking to see if they make some kind of tint paint. Saw somewhere on here that they make a smoked paint but can't seem to find it. I was cruising eBay and found a seller close to me that is called hitch to trailer. Went by his shop and came home with what I think mite work for the lights. Took the truck up by there to do some test fitting and all their led light bars are to big to fit under tailgate. So while looking around his store I found some 3/4 single led lights that I am going to put on. All I have to do is drill the holes for the lights and put the lights in. They are flush mounted and should clear the tailgate.

I thank you again Eric for the help. Would that paint work being that it will be on the led lens? Guess I will have to try it and see how looks. The bulbs are only $3 and the store is right down the road from my house.

If you tint, you need to treat it like paint and wet sand it to keep it from getting chalky looking
