Tail Light Tint Combination?

Hey guys. I have a Black C300 Sport 2008. I want to do something with my tail lights and I have narrowed it down into 2 options.

1.) I would combine the two tail light pictures show below. They are Black Border and Medium Tint. Essentially, the tail light would be outlined in pure black and the red portion only would be tinted to medium red. It would be a combination of both pictures shown.

2.) I would just tint the red portion of the tail light to a dark cherry red. This is shown in Black Out pictures.

On top of either of those options, I would eventually like to include a little design in the white portion as shown on the Barbus picture.

What do you guys think?

I'd black out the red and leave the white as is...but then again i'm biased (see sig)

Also the Brabus tail lights are LEDs...not a design on the lense
