FR-S tail light color decision help needed

Ive got a RED colored FR-S and desperately need help in choosing the right colored tail light to match it. Im deciding between either the Crystaleye or Valentis but Im really having a hard time choosing between the red lens led or the smoked lens leds. Any suggestions would really help...thanks.

Red on red looks fine but you want to give it a little contrast. I vote smoked

I think Im leaner more on the Valentis...the design looks quite different compared to the Crystal eye which is a bit similar to stock in my opinion. So should I get the Red & White (VALENTI-FT86-TL-CR) or Red & Chrome (VALENTI-FT86-TL-RC) or the Black & Orange (VALENTI-FT86-TL-SG) for my lightning red FR-S?

Red is fine , but I think I will try these when I free up some funds in the future.

I will try the smoke version since my rear windows are tinted. I think smoke will look nice too.
