I originally had the black housing mod, but recently played around and tried a new style that I haven't seen done yet. I opened up the lenses the second time to do chrome housings
on the bottom for better reflection. I had a can of lens tint spray sitting around for a while so I decided to do a moderate tint on the inside lenses, top portion (white pieces). I think it looks really nice, but better
for the corner lights, as it brings out the reflector lines in it. Gives it a cool look, but I don't know if it's my taste? I liked the original look I had (right corner light) but everyone got their own feel. Deciding on doing a video on how to do so, once I get a different set of corner lights because I messed up the left corner light.
Pardon the ugly dull finish as I have to buff them. As a side note for night appearance on light output, not much difference. It's actually very little IMO.

I like the driver side look better, though I think the red on the outers should match up the inners, I like the dark red to it, looks nice. Maybe make the white slightly tinted

Both look good to me.

Your tinted version is similar to what I did with mine.

I've actually done this a long long time ago but never posted it. I think this actually looks better on a black car. Just my opinion

I got the mixed feels as well but in general they do look nice, different style. Might just get the aftermarket smoked tails and leave it at that. I can never make up my mind on the look I want. Inners do match up but look different because they don't have the reflector lines.

I like the non-tinted version.

Add some chrome bulbs and it'd be very nice.

Id say do both inner and outer, or neither. Whatever you decide, good job on doing them. Workmanship looks good.
