Default LED Tail Lights Help Me Decide

Whats up guys. I'm looking at LED tail lights and can't decide. First off let me say my car is black and I'm kind of going for that blacked out look. I found two or three styles that Im considering.:

1. Black LED

2. Red/Clear LED (Kind of Stock looking)

http://www.andysautosport.com/audi/2...d00109429.html

3. Red/Smoke LED (My favorite)

Thanks in advance for your input.

Side note: Also looking at the LLTek HID LED headlights (black)

out of the three lights shown

and the look your wanting id go with hoice number one

would give a very moody look and would look like the car had eyes

sorry to be "that guy" but those are all terrible. Honestly if I were you I would get s4 tails or at least something OEM. You have an 01' so why not just smoke em or something?

the factory are not bad, but if you were to replace them, I'd say option #3

I was thinking since I like the LED's but hate the look of the covers couldn't you just swap your stock covers on the aftermarket tails? Not #1 on my list at this time so i'll have to wait to try it.

The tails on an S4 are the same as on an A4.

I'd stick with stock. aftermarket doesn't always = better.

Edit: **** I just noticed these are $220, def save your cash. Thats bananas to make your car look worse.

i actually have those (mine look most like#3) but instead of smoked, they're clear and chrome. the only red on them is for the rear fogs and reflectors. id say go with #3.

i love my lights. i also didn't pay retail for them tho.

oh i thought i would add, you will randomly get a "brake light" warning on you're LCD screen, this can be fixed by a DIY to add a load capacitor.. it doesn't bother me too much considering i drove around for 2months before i figured out how ot turn off the dam speed limit warning the previous owner had set =P
