Default STI vs LEXUS rear lights

Hey everyone, at the moment i have some Lexus rear lights fitted to my classic scooby as i have crystal clear lights at the front, and thought the standard rear lights look out of place.

A few of my mates told me i should go for the Sti rear lights instead, i'm not sure what to do, any ideas, maybe theres some lights that i don't know about. Heres 2 examples, neither one is mine, can't be assed go outside take a pic

I like Lexus lights on silver cars but I feel Evo's and Scoobs should retain their standard rear lights. Mods that suits Scoobs are those that hint at rally.

I know i should just go with what i think but i suck a decisions, thats why i'm on here

As for the projector rear lights they don't go will the car, nothing on the car is black, its blue and all the lights are crystal clear has a nice crisp look about it, the lexus lights suit it but look abit over the top, boy racer which i don't like

I would go for the STi rear clusters. they look a lot better.

Think the Lexus style clusters are still "Max Power" and you still see them on Saxo's and Clio's.

Its your choice tho, so if you want something different then go for it.
