Best smoked tailight for Heritage

Ok all,looking at putting a smoked tailight on my Heritage and would love to see some pics.

My ride is black with smoked bullet indicators and considering the HD LED with black housing or the Kuryakyn deluxe tailight (the one with the silver strip running vertically).

Would love to hear some opinions on what you guys have,what you would like to put on or what you wish you did put on.

Lets see those pics.........

I like the pics of Silverbullet's mods from the link above. They came out nice.

I went with smoked lens covers over stock bulbs, and then installed HD's new LED taillight that was plug & play.

This is the same light that would be used on a Heritage.

RE: Best smoked tailight for Heritage

I have the Kuryakyn deluxe taillight. It really improves the look of the back fender. I had some minor problems with it though. After riding in the rain a few times, I noticed water on the inside near the top. Thinking I had a bad seal at the top, I took it off andre-adjusted the gasket. Still water inside the next time it was wet on the roads. Wasn't really thinking the first time, but the second time noticed the two holes in the fender that are used for running wires through for said brake light and signal lights. I used the extra piece of foam/gasket material with the sticky back to block of these holes. No problems since. Overall, a real nice piece of kit.

Whoops.....My bad. I'm pretty sure that amber bulbs came with the smoked lens covers. I'm NOT using stock bulbs as stated previously.

I put on the Harley wiring harness that makes the rear turn lights into stop lights and then changed the tail light lens to the drag specialties clear chrome lens. Put in a red led bulb form http://www.superbrightleds.com/tail-brake-turn.html for about $8.[/align]
