Default Smoked Passing Lamps

Has anyone installed the smoked passing lamps from HD. I spoke to a guy in the parts dept. at Chicago Harley Davidson and he told my that they don't really look smoked but rather have a greenish tint to them. Has anyone noticed this? He also told me that adding these to my Street Glide can cause damage to the stator if I ride with them on all the time.

Not sure you can see mine that well but I have the HD set on..they are not that dark off and while on you can not really notice they are smoked. While sitting I like the look and hace the smoked turn signal lenses as well.

I took a look at mine and I just don't see any green at all. Maybe it's just me. I like the look and have never had a problem thus far.

He wasn't referring to damage from the smoked but rather damage from passing lights at all.

Yes, I would have thought that it would be the same. Wonder why he said that?
