Chrome or Red IPCW Tailights?

Ok, having trouble deciding between the chrome and the red. My ride is Imperial Blue Metallic. My initial thought was red but now I am leaning towards the chrome. If I do the chrome I was planning on putting clear replacements for all the side marker lights as well.

What does everyone think?

i would go clear or black. don't do the red on your IBM. in my mind i would never want the red ones because they look so close to the originals that there is no point.

Clear or black would look awesome on your blue. Do the clear with clear side markers and BAM, you got it.

I agree with twistrman-- go with the chrome for the IBM. Will be more eye-catching.

I would go Clear or Smoke. as a side note, for the clear side markers, unless something has shown up since i last looked, there are no rear side markers available in clear, only the fronts. i am planning on clearing mine, then lightly Nightshading them, but I won't do it until i can do all 4.

My reason for doing the Ruby ones....... Stock look, until they light up.

Ditto what he said - with a tip

Just got my led lights from Maggie and did the install....small hands help and the job is easy......now the tip....the thin jumper wires pinch real easy.....both of mine did and I was careful. What I did was wrap the thin wires in electrical tape to make them more rigid and less likely to pinch....easy to do, harder to explain.

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I don't have small hands! I'll try the tape idea though.
