Thumbs up Which Valenti LED tail lights?

Hey guys, curious which one the community prefers, I am aware it's all preference but, I would like your input (I am driving a White FR-S btw).

Deciding between Valenti LED Red Chrome Tail lights and Valenti LED Smoked lense.

Red (Still shots towards the bottom, scroll down)

Smoked out (video at the bottom right shows them and their functions in action)

Ive been umming and arring over these two, although the red bar ones arent available outside of modbargains and Im not in the US...
Just worried about how much the white bars show and just how dark it is. I like the idea of some smoked tinting, but not if its really dark

I second the red with white bar. If you have jerk cops like we do in so-cal, red is the safest option.

I run the smoked Valenti's personally. But seeing you have Whiteout I would run the red set instead.

I love the smoked one, but I just got pulled over in SoCal for having smoked tail lights, luckily the cop was nice and only wrote me up for modified exhaust, but all I had was my rear muffler delete.

I have a red twin with the red/chrome lights, and I love it. With the white car, I would recommend either that or the full red with white bar.

The smoked is always going to be the #1 seller but we get a huge amount of orders for the Red/White versions too.
