Isn't it a DOT requirement to have a red reflector built in your rear
sidemarker? Same as an orange reflector in your front sidemarker? It's not
enuff that it's red or orange when on. I don't think those smoked or clear
lenses are legal in the US. Other than Europe where there is no such
requirement.
