I'm partial to anything unique. That said if anything other than the 99, the bottom one. The symmetry works. The middle just looks odd.

There's only 3 light bulbs: 2 brake and 1 turn signal. Making anything more than 2 brake lights is going to give them uneven lighting. Plus, the third reminds me too much of a Supra and that's bad.

ive done a similar light mod before, only 3 bulbs is no issue.

I thought the last one looked familiar

They all look weird IMO. If you could wire it so that there's only 2 big circles (red) that both flash when you use the turn signal that might look cool. (like the corvettes)

I think I'm gonna go for the 3rd one, The circles will have to be about 60-65mm instead of 75-80mm

Either go 99 spec or stay with stock. I'm not a fan of the other 2.

Why not something without circles? Just a thought.

Hows about:

"...Pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars,
green clovers."
"Hearts, stars, and horseshoes. Clovers and blue
moons. Pots of gold and rainbows. And me red
balloons. "

A cool idea I saw on a mustang (ewww). Tailights that spell out, "YOU JUST LOST".
Cant be good for cops though.
