Default All smoked out.

Finally got the right lens and bulb to finish out the lenses on my ride. Simple and cheap but big improvement IMO.

Big thanks to Deuce Bigelow for pointing me in the direction of Custom Dynamics.

You guys wouldn't believe how hard it was to find a OEM style smoked tailight.

Thanks to everyone for all the help, these simple appearance mods all are a direct result of the help you all gave me. Peace

Thanks guys. The smoked lenses and black pearl really match well and the silver coated bulbs keep the lenses black when not lit unlike the regular yellow bulbs.

Citoriplus I think you're reading my mind on the fronts lol

Warped minds think alike.

I used the silver Sylvania bulbs, but personally I like the clear lens better.
Just my "opinion", nothing more.
The flash makes them look a little amber, but in daylight they look silver/blue until they get lit up, then they look nice and bright amber.





What I would like to find is a set for the rear that uses tri-state LED's that either light up red for the brake, or amber for the turn signal. That way as yourbrakeing into a turn it would alternate between red and amber.
Custom Dynamics sells one almost like it, but it is red in the middle with an amber ring. I want the whole thing to be red, amber or off. I think itwill go nicer with the tri-bar LED tailight I just put on.
Be a lot easier for the car behind you to KNOW what your doing, and maybe not run my a$$ over by "accident".

Damn that's a good idea. I have to do something with that big *** thing. I'll check out Deuce's pic gallery. Did you just shorten it by cuttingthen remounting it assume?

CP--I thought about going clear then once I saw the smoked on it it was perfect for my taste, that looks damn good on your's thoughand light's brighter than mine.
