I have a smoked tail light and it looks great. When you brake the red LED's are much brighter then the standard one.

I have it on my SG and it is much brighter than normal when breaking. Seems about the same when not.

I also did the turn signal / running light conversions and am easily (more) seen.

I have the Street Magic LED smoke tail light. It is a bit of a custom though. It came apart so before I sealed it back up I painted the inside chrome area (not around the light) black. Here it is on my previous black Road Glide. And yes it is plenty bright enough.

I use a LED brake light with my Walters Workshop smoked taillight................works great for me. My riding buddies actually said it's too bright when they are right behind me.........sounds good to me.
