With is OK on a red car, but I'm not so keen on other colours. I like the white contrast you get without overlays though.
 
I've got red overlays on my pre facelift rear lights because the asymmetry of them really bugged me so preferred it to be all red.... On the facelift it doesn't suffer from that problem so I don't think it needs them....

But if you like it do it, its easy to remove if you change your mind
 
In fact thinking about it I'd probably go the other way and swap the centre break light for a clear one to bring the clear into the rear end in another place and give the clear sections of the tail lights something to match into

I bought it from flyeys got a sheet of their film and cut 2 large circles and 2 small circles to fit the round bits in my tail lights, I only needed to cover the indicators and the reverse light but I cut an extra one to go over the red section on the other side for added symetry
 
I prefer all red, in fact I have been meaning to get around to doing mine, I have had the film for over a year :roll:

I made my own out of red vinyl and looked great however the indicators weren't Amber but Amber red. Not a great when police see them. So removed them. Back to oem. How are you hmguys getting round the lamps being the wrong colour?

I use flyeye, Google it for full information but basically perforated vinyl so from any distance looks solid red but lets enough light through to see the indicators and reverse light perfect and the correct colour
 
Another "with" vote from me, but as many have said, that is not a universal,vote applicable to non-red cars.
 
I went without Marlon as I think the white gives it contrast. But it is your car and if you like it go for it
 
also went for without... cant quite put my finger on why... just looks a bit odd to me without the white reversing light
 
I voted without but only on the basis that the car is already red and the white contrast looks decent.different if it was preface lift with Amber.
