LED brake lights
My stock brake light is temp fixed. I've got a little cardboard jammed in the socket next to the bulb so it makes contact and works.
I'm interested in the smoked LED taillight replacements. There are a lot on ebay and Amazon--some less than $30.
Anybody have experience with these? Any I should choose or avoid and where is the best place to buy? I'm willing to spend a little more to get a quality product.

Also there is the Harley Tri Bar light but it is spendy. I got a Harley one off of the classifieds cheap. eBay has a bunch of Chinese knock offs, and when researching I didn't hear any complaints about them. $70.

I personally don't get "smoked" lenses. Cars that have them, the brake light is as bright as the normal running light and the running light is virtually invisible. There's no way I'd run them on a bike. I have LEDs on my bike with clear lenses, since the bulbs are colored. Like the wolf said, "all the better to see you my dear."
But this is my opinion...right or wrong.

Smoked lighting looks very cool on a black bike. Or any other IMHO.
Chicken mine is LED with smoked lens and is a hell of a lot brighter then the stock brake light
