Default brake light replacement

So I changed the location of my plate on the back of the bike (2017 flhtkl). I want to change the brake light cover to a red without the plate light. Does anyone know what will interchange so I can use a Harley(oe part) part to replace it. I was thinking the brake light on the fender was the same for "most" Harleys????? Let me know if you have any info, thanks

Custom dynamics sells many great led replacement brake lights with different plate light window orientations, call them to be sure you order the right part.

Talking .

nice, part number works!!!! So that got me thinking after seeing the part number. I went up to my box of parts that I have kept for years and I had one of those that came off my 09 SG

Did the mod on my 2012 and picked up a solid red lay down light for $30CDN from fortnine.com. Put a red LED in and it was really bright.

Get a Bright *** Light and smile every time you hit the brakes. That was the one reservation I had with getting a RGS was not having the typical touring brake light. So I did the next best thing and had CD directional lights put on front and back.
