Thinking of getting some for the rear lights the fronts will be changed all together this winter but I think it makes the bike look a little classier.

If you do go that route I suggest you get a set of the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs for them. They look like blue/chrome when off, but light up very bright amber when turned on. I have them behind clear lenses and it almost looks like they a clear bulbs, without the amber color of a normal bulb.

Not the best pic of them, but it should give you a decent idea. The camera's flash makes the bulbs look a little amber, but in normal daylight they look very different. Behind smoked lenses they will probably be virtually invisable. Best of all is that they are a bit brighter than normal tinted or even clear lens bulbs.

I just got my turn signal lenses today as a matter of fact. Thanks for the tip on the bulbs, Frank... I'll check them out, as the front bulbs weren't the right type anyway (Harley kit).

I've got the Kuryakyn lay-down smoke tail lense coming next week... I really like the look of the smoke lenses (THANKS, DMAC).

Just put em on mine a few weeks ago. Looks a whole lot better than the amber ones that I thought were just an eyesore!

Got em, love em. Also I replaced the rear tail light with HD's new chrome LED rear light. I changed all four turn signal lenses and the tail light faster than it took me to reply here and upload a pic. Tail light was plug & play, lenses simply snap on after old ones pop off.

Got them on my turn signals , look much better especially with my color of bike . Had the smoke tailight too , but took it off due to almost being rear ended a couple of times . Too dim , barely see the brakes come on after dark , in daylight , WORSE !
Thinking of going to the clear lenses and theturn signalbulbs that look chrome until turned on .

I think they look best with dark colors on the bike, especially the black cherry pearl, they look very classic on my bike, I love em!

Thank's for the comments!! Ed those do look great on your bike! Although my bike is not a dark color, I thought the contrast with the fire red pearl paint would look good! Then again I may be wrong!!!
