Which looks better? Stock or LED?

I think the side by side is the wrong way to compare...I think with all four in there is the only way to decide. Also...are those the harbor frieght ones? If so I'm confused as to whether you have to order the black ring seperate. Please elaborate on the install if you would. They look awesome to me.

Id say stock, BUT could you put the LED buld in the stock lense? I would think that would be a LOT better

STOCK!!!!

Even on new cars with LED rear lights, they look unnatural to me with all the little discrete lights. Maybe I'm just too old for them.

These are truck lights, available from most auto parts stores or truck stops, the grommets are sold seperately.

I just borrowerd these from work to see how they would look, they are just shoved in the bumper and not hooked up. I thought about cutting out the originals and leaving the outside stainless ring and glueing these into them, but the sizes are wrong. Just an experiment to see how they looked and what everyone thought. I think I,m with the majority here, STOCK.
