Pick My LED Taillights

Ok Guys & Gals. I already have a LED 3rd Brake Light so I wanna match my Taillights by getting LED Taillights. Recon is who most guys have recommended, that is who made my 3rd Brake Light. But I don't wanna pay $300+ for taillights. I found this website through a link posted on another website: HERE

My question to you is which ones do you think would look good? I wanna have a smoked or already "carbon" DSG lights. I don't want the OEM bright cherry red taillights. Although I do like the look of OEM lights. IDNC76 has LED OEM style lights that he got from ebay that are similar to the first lights posted. So what do y'all think?

I'm not wild about the reflectors on the lower end of many of the LED aftermarket lights. But when I smoke them my self I think they won't be as noticeable until light hits them.

1.)


2.)


3.)


4.)


**#3 & #1 are similar but #3 is smoked already. Most likely I will smoke it a tiny bit more when I get the lights I know of several guys online that have done that. I believe Mblouir did that to his lights which are very similar to #2. **

Here's My Truck:


Somebody made the comment to me that I should go with a "clear one" aka no red since I already have a recon "smoke" 3rd Brake Light I donno about that one????

Ive been thinking about it for a while and then Darren's write up made me want to even more. Except these light have the lights and circuit boards attached and I dont want to mess anything up., so I need to take a good look at them. I sealed them up with some silicone so im probably going to need to bake em.

I like #1 the best, but since you already have a smoked 3rd brake light, I think #4 will look better on your truck. It will match the truck and your 3rd brake light.
