I would also like to know this answer. But if I recall correctly from the website "Current Projects" portfolio it looks like they make them in house. Id like to know the process!

I know those tips are machined ALU.

Thx for the reference. It looks like all in house. I suspect there are two ways of doing it, (1) mold and resin and (2) CNC a block of plastic resin. Looking at the build pics you referenced it looks like they were CNC from two pieces with a stock clear light diffuser in the lower piece.

Greening Auto Company machined the tail lights and tail panel for the car. The main panel and trim piece were machined from aluminum. The lenses were machined from acrylic then had custom LED boards and diffusers built in from the backside. Greening also did the 1-off wheels and a few other components on the build that we will highlight later on. We have machined a lot of components in house for this and the other cars we will unveil at SEMA. The greening crew is great to work with and are incredibly talented.
