They aren't Bad. But I'd as you said get rid of the rest of the Red or Black them out and smoke the lenses to match the reverse lights look. 
Good job trying.

Thanks for all the comments/suggestions so far, i appreciate it!

If ur gonna go clear, go with a carbon fiber back ground. 
But if i did something like this, i would have to make a fully clear lense, without the fluting and stuff. This would work out best, except, i'm not too sure that i could match the curvature myself...then it would just look like crap. Otherwise that way would be ideal, i cold incorporate a few lamps and a red reflector.

Get two of those 4" round truck LED's and try to find some smaller 3" round Orange LED's then mount them inside, with the smaller orange on slightly behind and to the outside of the red one. Then wire the red one to the third brake light, and parking lights. Wire the orange one to the front turn signals....
At least that's what I'd do, in a flash I would......
Hmmm, that sounds pretty good. But i wonder if it would look good with the fluting in the lense (mixing the two colors, that is). I think i'll stick with just red for now, i could always mod it more later...

"Good job trying"...lol, thanks. Ya, I was thinking about smoking them, as well as putting either a white or balck stripe horizontally across the center.

THe clear lense has built in reflectors, i believe all i need to stay legal is some red reflectors, and i've been thinking about mounting some low on the bumper...
I know they aren't "DOT approved," but a lot of things on my car aren't "approved"....oh well, i'm aware of the legal consequences.

Alright, some updated pics, one of the lamps got some bondo lovin', and i primered them both. In this pic you can see that the reflector portion is still present:  More angles:     I'm still not sure which color i want to paint the primered part, its either black, or body color. I'm leaning towards black at the moment... should provide a nice contrast, then i could also possibly add a black strip of vinyl to the top of the reflector to match.....i dunno, so many options
