Default Tint tails or candy them

Im thinking of retinting my taillights or either candying them. The truck is dark blue. What do yall think would look best on that color. Also what grit do yall recommend sanding with during the process, and where can i get candy red clear?

Thanks,
Derek

Not to try and jack your thread but I'm looking to smoke mine and do you guys think it would be worth it to buy clear euros and smoke those or would it just be a waste of money? Would they be brighter than the stock taillights smoked or would a difference even be noticable? Input plz.
