I work with Volkswagen aftermarket parts and they seem to have every shade of color for the VWs, but I seldom see a smoked tail light for Audis.  Therefore I have heard you can spray a smoke tint on your lights to achieve the darker shade.  Any ideas?

I advocate against using a spray-based lens darkening agent.  Reduced light
output for the sake of vanity is not such a great idea.  The factory
tinted lights are not merely smoked lenses.  They either have special
bulbs/reflectors to increase light output or special magic on the lens
(alternate bands of dark and light) to make the lens appear dark while
allowing the light to come through...
