just mask off the red bits and the rest of the light leaving the clear section exposed, few coats of tint spray and then lacquer them

just re-read your post, think i got confused and thought you wanted to do full red lights, but if you just want to tint/smoke the red sections that do as above but mask the lights to leave red section exposed

it doesn't come off to great so best just taking your time with it or getting someone to do them for you who has done them before

as said above, mask off the clear area, make sure its perfectly straight, took me 3 attempts

then just do LIGHT coats untill the bits which wer clear are the same shade as the bit which wer red, dont just spray the clear square bits, spray over the red which is already there aswell

also get some clear indicator bulbs (foilatec etc) as u can see in the 2nd pic, the orange bulb look isnt very nice lol

Pics of mine which i done yonks ago..

i changed them after a while to this

Remember though, lots off thin light coats are better than a couple of thick coats, just take your time mate and you will be fine

i just bought some red tint spray from halfrauds
