The ghost are painted to match the body color, and are invisible, but when illuminated, shine brightly thru the paint as if the paint wasn’t there? Can somebody correct me? Also, on our cars, the side markers are supposed to be reflective, can someone tell me if all those are? I don’t see how the ghost ones could be, but then I can’t see how the LEDs can get brightly thru the paint either. This is why we have reflectors on the rear bumper, cause our LED tail lights don’t reflect. I want the ghost ones but I’m afraid to pull the trigger and find out, like I often do, that stuff just doesn’t work like I think it should. As in, if it’s too good to be true, it very likely is. I did email Oracle, but didn’t get a real clear answer.

I think you are correct in your understanding of the options. The ones on my Nightfall Grey Metallic car above are the ghost ones: painted body color, but when the lights are on, the LED's clearly show through the paint.
They do not reflect, and I don't know if the stock ones do or don't, since I threw them away a long time ago.
I can tell you that they look pretty bad-ass, and the LED's look good when illuminated.
