Matte/Frosted Sidemarkers?

Are there any clear side markers with a matte/frosted finish? Kind of like the stock orange ones?

I don't like the looks of the completely transparent side markers, just seeing the little ***** of light from the bulb.

You can also get it painted at any body shop. This topic has been covered.

'tis why i said frosted, not opaque

the OEM ones have this little matte patch on them, distributes the light evenly

Or is there a film we can use? a very light smoky effect would work to.

Same thing. Just like tinting your tail lights. Lighter coat instead of heavy coat to light still shines through.
