Hey Ack, I'm interested in the 07-08 base smoked out except brake lights. (pic is on your original post, I believe its the second example pic.) How do you tint these? I'm assuming you put the film on the inside of the light?

For trade
I have these TYPE-S headlights for trade. They have ZKWs installed and are blacked out. I took them off of my buddies car and I did the work. No problems at all. I am looking to trade for stock TYPE-S and only TYPE-S. $100 plus shipping or $100 swapped if you are local and I would do the swap for a small fee.
Also have these for trade/sale. They are TYPE-S with tint on everything and a black bezel. Came off of the same car and they are $250 or $160 plus stock trade and shipping. I would take either base 07-08 or TYPE-S on the trade:
Here is the same style lit up:

"I really like the ^^ tails and headlights above it...correct me if I'm wrong but that appear to be color matched for the ASM Type-S?"
They are color matched for the 04-06 SSM. Pretty much almost the same color as the ASM, but the headlights are for the 04-06 as you can tell there is only one projector.

I believe the base o4-o6 tails already have clear internals anyway. If not, the red lens from the base tails will make the clear turn signal still shine and appear white. Unless you want to remove the turn signal lens... it may shine light ever so slightly different but otherwise won't do much.
The filter on the red base tails is very strong. I shined a white LED bar through it with red brake lens and clear brake lens. The output looked the same.
If you wanted to give the turn signal a more distinct look versus the rest of the tails... you can have everything smoked except for the turn signal. This will give whatever smoked a gloss/dark-red-chrome sort of look while the turn signal will be 'normal'.

...What?
I'm talking about taking the all red tails, and just simply removing the red from the turn signal area so it's clear. Like these, but with the rest of the tail red.

I was thinking of going this route if it's not too late to change, but with the red smoked, I didn't think about the legality of it being all clear and for inspection.

No point, tbh.

Like these but where the grey is, I want that red. So just like I said, ALL RED tails (like 04-06), but where the TURN SIGNAL AREA is, I want that completely CLEAR. What's so confusing about this?

^^YESSS just like the one on the left. I guess I was confused on which year tails to say. But yeah just like that one, all red with a clear turn signal

The o4-o6 have a red outer lens.
May I suggest using Duplicolor's Red Metalcast paint on the bezel?
It has such a brilliant red finish.
