Default brake light and turn signal ?

I want to change my stock lens covers to the black covers,but in 2011 the turn signals and brake lights are one in the rear.If I change the rear bulbs to red LEDs do you think these will show up bright enough through the black lens caps.Or what other options do I have.

Yeah, I think you'll be fine. I bought some LED's for my rear turn signals. They are also brake lights. I have an '09 Street Bob. Here is what they look like.

Running lights:

When I took that pic I wasn't using any stalk with the turn signal. I was coming through the fender support bracket right into the turn signal. I was afraid the signals weren't water proof so since that pic I have installed short stalks. Now they stick out from the fender about 3/4 of an inch.

My LED tail lights/turn signals are these:

Even though they aren't specified as fitting 06-up Dynas, they fit.

Not shown, but I have the exact same set-up on my bike now as MAGNYS. They look more yellow in his pic, in actuality they are intense red.
