This sounds like your IAC ( idle air control ) valve needs to be cleaned.

You can get cans of "Taillight smoke" online and at different tuner shops, you can also go to most craft stores and get stained glass paint to do the trick.

heres a link : http://www.annihilatorcustoms.com/ma...4b70dc33d2bf23

It's basically a spraypaint can full of clearcoat with a few drips of black mixed in to thin it out.

the more coats you laydown the darker it gets.

You spray it on the outside and it bonds to the plastic housing. Any smoke that you are able to apply is always on the outside of the housing.

The smoked housings you can buy aftermarket are actually colored as they are manufactered so the smoke color is a part of the actual light housing.
