Default Here we go again... which one guys?

OK my fellow RL brethren... I'd like to get your opinion once again.

I have had cops behind me on a daily bases and since I tinted my taillights (2 years) never had an issue... until recently.
I have now gotten 3 tickets in as many months for my taillights and even my side markers ($165,- per).
The taillights, OK... but the markers

So I've decided to change the tinting on my taillight exposing enough of the red lens not to get hassled.

Which one of the 3 options do you guys like best...
Also, should I stay with blacked-out brake light or go back to red?

Thanks guys!

Sid.

Shame you can't leave it like it is! Looks pretty sweet to me... But in answer to your question, I like option two with a little of the white to break up the flow. Definitely not the first one. BTW, who makes your spoiler?

That sucks, Sid. I love your mods.

My vote would be 2.

Thanks for the input!

The spoiler is an oversized carbon-fiber one from maxspeed motorsports, it only works with a stock Turbo decklid though.

Thanks Divot!

I really thought it would not have been a problem (and it wasn't for 2 years) since the reverse light and turn signal is located in the clear part of the lens.

But I really couldn't believe the last cop gave me a $165,- ticket for the side marker...what the hell !
I don't know anyone who's gotten a ticked for that, do you?

#1 is very Aston Martin-ish but I think I might like it the best.

Never heard of a sidemarker infraction before.

I think the cops love you more than everyone else.

I think 1 looks better...but you might be "Safer" with 2.
