Default New tail lights?

Okay one of my LX tail lights is getting moisture in it and I noticed that there's a small crack along the top. It's a Red 1993 LX hatch and I'm trying to figure out what I should do and I'd like some input. I'm leaning towards 93 Cobra tail lights, but don't know if I should just keep it stock.

Ive got the same kind of car and it had dingy tailights. I bought a set off ebay (1 year old OEs off a garaged car) and it mad the rear look brand new. I also put new headlights on the same day and it comletey boosted the cars overall apperance.

84-86 lights are different than the SVO/Cobra lights right? They don't have the three black/grey lines going through the lights?
