Welcome, while I cannot answer your queation (I know someone here will get to it quickly), I'm really surprised by your comments on the clear lights. I have an '09 which has solid red tail lights and I HATE them. I would love to have the '08 clear ones...I'm honestly surprised Honda didn't update them to clear for the '12 like they did back in '06.

Good luck with the changeover if you decide to do it.

One of the tweaks people did with 03-05 was replace the taillights with the 06-08 versions. Straight fit. There are also dark smoked lights as well on Ebay

auctions on ebay for around $60. Then sell yours there or here

Old thread on this subject with everything you need to know.
