NEED OPINIONS ON TAIL LIGHTS!

I have an extra set of tail lights and haven't decided how or if to tint them. Photoshopped a couple pics with some choices. I left the right light blacked out like I have it now for comparison. Would like to hear peoples opinions...

First a complete light tint


Second a light tint over the white


Third a dark tint over the white


Fourth a dark tint over the red

Red with the turn signal tinted light or dark? That last pic with the turn signal white is growing on me more and more. My other dilemma is if I go with the turn signal tinted most of the tails will be red and I feels like it doesn't go with the tinted 3rd brake light. I would have to get a regular one.
