Can anyone hook me up with a link to a nice quality set(or the best they could be) of smoked turn signals? I am tired of my hids blowing out on the right side for some reason and am going to try LED headlight bulbs... and want to put leds in the smoked turns as well.

my ebay ones works just fine. If you want to spend a bit more then go with the ones from afterthoughtsauto.com . I tried lookin on ebay for the smoked ones but didn't see any. I VHT'd my rear ones and they came out great.
As for the bulbs, if your lamps keep burning out (I'm assuming you don't really have HID's in your turn signals) then it sounds like a socket or water infiltration issue. Going with expensive LED lamps won't solve the issue.
For the headlights, again I hope you don't mean to go LED with them. They may sell these but they would only be for show and would not provide nearly enough lighting over a standard halogen. It appears from your avatar you have HID's in the headlights? If so, it could be a bad ballast or bad lamp.
You are describing a bunch of lighting tech that isn't making sense in the places you say you have them. I've been all through this stuff so let me know if you can clarify what you are asking and I'll try to help ya out.

let me clarify...I had Hid headlights....I now ordered LED 9006 bulbs made for headlights, and then wanted to get turn signal leds to match. Sorry about that i just read my post and its like a jumbled mess haha. Thanks for the info though.

dude, what he's trying to say is stated wherever the lights you just bought are for sale
Warning: LED bulbs are for show or off road use only. LED bulbs provide superior color output over genuine HIDs and halogen however LED output does not illuminate the ground sufficiently for night time driving.

yea LED's in the headlights are a horrible idea. They will look ok for color but a stock halogen will put out much more light. Your going to be driving in the dark!

I haven't seen any smoked headlights for sale on Ebay. Generally people just use VHT Niteshade, and spray them to get that tinted look.

Those look like covers, I wouldn't go with those they look tacky.
