I don't understand the question. I would be filtering at a RED light most of the time. So not sure how I could "make" a red light.

My intention would be to run the red if it is safe, but it does not matter if the light turns green while I am filtering, or even before I start because, what is maddening to most drivers works FOR me - cars don't all start rolling at once so gaps between them appear as they get up to speed. I just filter forward, let all of the cars gain speed until I catch up with a gap, then merge right into the gap and become part of the flow through the intersection and for as long as I can before moving toward the right curb.

I almost never filter far right. I filter to the left of the cars in the right lane virtually eliminating the possibility of right hooks.

Every situation is different. So no one can really say what they would normally do, because there is no norm. Each situation must be assessed on it's own every time.
