My vote is for #2: red/white. Your X5 will look close to stock but still different than most others.

Both the clear and the smoked sets will look missing on your Alpine White X5. Or, they'll look like your light have been broken out. I think you've heard these opinions before.

+2 for number 2, and don't forget to change the turn signal bulb to an Invisibulb or some such like thing.

Just curious, have you read all 90+ inputs on this recent LED tail light thread by Essam ??
