Untint the taillights or buy some smoked led taillights from recon.

I used to run GTS smoked light covers on my 10' tails
output was brutal and I'm lucky I never got rear ended ...and sued.

Recently swapped in LED tails (OEM's that I tinted two shades darker)
and they are significantly brighter than my stock lamps...even without covers.

If you're set on smoked lenses, LED Tails are the way to go

park lights only, both pics....

Yeah, I was a little hesitant on spending on $65 on some LED bulbs, but I'm really happy with them.

Way cheaper than LED aftermarket tails

Other than that man, there's not much else to do besides re-tint them lighter.
