I have pretty much same problem.. I think first variant is the best... My advices :
1. Like Stryker said - use one color & attentation.. I think it should be white or light blue...
2. Add noise to your volume light !
3. Improve the light objects (real lights, in car) - model it, make them transperent, add reflectivity...
4. Experiment...
Good luck !!

thx ill try that. also... how do correctly set up the angles of the lights. such as... how far out they should go before hitting the
ground, how far before they intersect and all that stuff?

It is necessary that there were no precise edges, all should be smoothly! All is made in options!
