I would say clear euro lights. Similar to what you have just not in black. I want tinted black tail lights.

Personally as far as aftermarket tails go the only ones i think work on the focus are the hella's or morettes but thats just my opinion.

Those LED tails are pretty awesome. They look close enough to stock that they aren't an eye-sore, but still improve the look a bit. You can get them in clear or gray but I think they look best in red.. you might be able to find them in North America and save yourself some money though.
I'd always suggest OEM European tails with the orange signal light and no reverse light, but it doesn't really look like you're going for the Euro theme with your car.
And it looks like you're missing the end pieces of your mid-wing there..

well going back to stock ones is a good idea, anything European would be better then those alteeza style of lights.... any day not to mention potential problems like leakage.

The best set of tails I have seen were on a sedan in Cold Lake Alberta back in July. He has a sangria red one like mine but he just used the smoke paint you can buy and when he did if he put a ford emblem on the tails with flames going upward from the logo....so where the logo and flames were, it was the stock red lense and then the smoking around it....looked really good at night......

Most Tailights for ANY Focus look stupid. Period. Only ones that look alright, are the WW ones that people painted to match, or the OEM ones from Europe. Otherwise, they look like too much of an add-on or "afterthought".
