Default tail lights

is there any other tail lights on the market that will fit out stock location that look a bit better?
&nbsp\\;
I dont mind the one i have it just to me looks more like the lens was a after thought instead of thinking on something that looks more appealing.
&nbsp\\;
thought about doing the side mount but i dont want the holes in the rear fender.

I've had the Kuryakyn smoked laydown deluxe light and now the smoked laydown standard light, both LED.&nbsp\\; Both very easy installs and blend in better with the bikes, in my opinion, so that they don't stick out like a sore thumb.&nbsp\\; Here are pix of both.&nbsp\\; The deluxe version has the chrome strip and the regular version is a lower profile.

I am putting a 50's style tail light on, as soon as i have a weekend i cna lift her up and not be on it riding... I have already powdercoated it high gloss black and rebuilt the insides so it is now all LED's on the inside... just a cleaner light! IT looks like this, but all black and without the plate light... I had to re wire my tail lights to bypass using the tail light plugs... it all solders into the main connection that is located right behind the battery box.&nbsp\\; have one side done just need to do the other... then mount it up... i will prob have to fab up a back plate to make it work but that is not a big deal at all...
