Third brake light

I'm sure there's a thread for this but I can't seem to find it...feel free to point me to it.

I discovered this weekend that the lens is missing from my third brake light. I'm going to replace it but thought I would find out if there is a really good replacement or a really bad one to stay away from. I was looking at the tinted ones (I have a black top) but I hate smoked brake lights because they are so hard to see (why have brake lights you can't see?)

Thanks for your input.
