If you mean the fillers between the bags , they are HD filler lights. The center lights up from brake lights also.Nicer fit than the CD I had before. And they are plug an play.
This is a day time view. My plan is to get rid of all the red lens.

Here is my new plate holder with bolt LED. Had it fabricated out of titanium. Never settle for HD/aftermarket options, custom can be cheaper.

Thanks for the light idea. I just installed my Christmas present yesterday.

Looks good. Red lens seem to look good on gray and silver bikes. Did everything in Red lens on the 2016 it was Silver and Black.
I like using the LED plate bolts because the tinny LEDs looked better than the tail light window on mine.

The only hard part of the install was getting the CD Fillerz off. That 3M tape is tough.
