I think you are thinking about this way too much Look very similar, and you get the LED's at night. Get some shots of those!

I'd go with HD tails (like myself).

I 100% understand your statement of the reds clashing, and its true... the stock or hella lights do clash with the paint.

The HD tails offer a perfect match... red to match, but darker to offset them

Have had the same lights for two trouble-free years and nothing but compliments.

Black outlined decal looks good, not overdone, but I also really like the stock one as well, so I say that's up in the air. If you like it enough to change out the stock ones go for it

thats my exact problem. The stock sticker are part of the reason i bought the FX4 package. But I also like the idea of custom stuff...

I personally like the OEM tail lights. I'm not a big fan of LED's or Euro's.
