FD LED tail lights concepts

hey guys I want to get LED tail lights for my FD and well since i'd like them to have a unique look, i took a couple of minutes to photoshop 3 different concepts for them.
Now I'd like to know what you guys think of them. If you have any other suggestions SPEAK! Anyways... the upper pictures are when using flashers and the bottom pics are simply the lights

thank
-David

OK... my opinion is.. the Top left and bottom left looks like vagina

the Top right and bottom right are ok

If it was me i'd rock the bottom right

Bottom right...definitely. I agree with 7 Rocket...the left ones should be removed from consideration. If you can actually get this done you'll be making some moola

Why don't you just use the regular lights with home made BMW angel eyes on them. It will look alot better than any of those.

I truthfully really like the far left, it's something different and pretty cool looking.

i think ill go with the style seen on the right...
it would require 252 red led bulbs for the 6 dual circles and 114 amber led bulbs to fill the interior of the circles to create the turn signals

none of you goons realized that he's talking about the pairs of brake lights on the "lights on position" and "brake depressed position".

lol the third set looks the cleanest.

Why stick with the 3 pattern, meaning having a set of three? You can always do something completly original/custom. Some ideas I've had with LED is to replicate the Austin Martin tails off the Vanquish/Vantage or Audi tails off the R8, even the Jaguar tails are pretty impressive
