Default Taillight feedback wanted

I ordered some 69 Camaro Billet Taillights from Marquez with the intention of using them on my 79 El Camino. Just laying them on the bumper my first impression is that the proportions are off. Maybe because the flanges show and I am used to the size of the originals. The bumper will be narrowed about three inches in the middle. Take a look at the pictures and offer me some feedback. I set them out on a couple different configurations.

Thanks in advance

Robert

I have to say that number three is the best IMHO.

That seems to be the debate. My 17 year old son likes the second one (the first with the billet lenses) I like the third from the left. This isn't the first modification we see differently.

I'm all for #3. Pretty good idea. I have been working with G-bodys for awhile now and would have never thought to put 69 taillights in that bumper... Good luck with it.
