Help choosing new tailamps

I'd like to get a new set of tailights but currently I am undecided as to which ones to go with. I'd like to stick with the clear/chrome idea but there isn't really anything out there that I like. On the front I have clear lightning style heads, clear corners, stealth bulbs, and "euro" clear fogs.

This is exactly what I have right now as far as truck color, grey sticker/trim color/chrome tailight plastic crap:


What I've found so far are:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Does anyone have any of these on their trucks (pics), like any, or, most importantly, know where I can get basically oem looking lights that are 100% clear? They have smoked ones like this:

that I like but I want clear - that is the exact look I want though

Thanks much!

I think there's a lot to be said for OEM tail lights. The only thing I'd swap my OEMs out for would be a nice set of LED tail lamps but they only make them in Altezza style for the Expedition. Out of those you have listed, I'd say 3 because they look like a cleaned up pair of OEMs. Next choice would be the the last set, the smoked tails and I don't really care for them either.

I just got the #4's installed a few days ago. I like them on my white truck:



Plz don't get #1 or 2. They look hideous!

Either the last ones or OEM's with a few coats of Niteshades.

keep it clean, go with 3. I had a pair of red LEDs on my old body style, and now I have a pair on my new body style. Cleans it up without being tacky.
