Default Tail Lights - Not LED

Thinking about different style tail lights and looking for suggestions/recommendations.
I don't want LEDs, any designs (e.g. bowtie), or blacked out. Stock bulbs.

Thinking either smoke or clear lenses and then black housing (thought about chrome housing, but too ricey?).
Any suggestions, recommendations, or photos? Blazer is an '02 in Pewter.

Anybody have these: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1995-2004-S10...item2ec062350d
I like the look, but I understand 2 stock bulbs in one housing is a bad idea.

These? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/95-04-CHEVY-B...item1e703ea197

There was a guy on this forum that has made a few pairs of custom taillights. I think he owns an Xtreme edition blazer with a Chevy bowtie type of taillight. He is very good at what he does. He might be able to make you a custom pair. Say you wanted 4x4 on the taillights, he could do that. I can't think of his name right now, but I'll edit this post if I do.

Edit: This was the guy. 2002Extreme but bad news... He hasn't been on since May 09.

From what I hear, it's too much heat from stock lamps.
If you went with LEDs, probably not a problem.

Yep I can see double incandescent bulbs melting either the housing, or each other.

I had a style like the first set that was posted, but all clear with LEDs. Grew to dislike them.
