Smoked lay down lens
I just installed a smoked laydown on my Road King with a iridium bulb. I sure hope I don't have that problem, I'll be pissed! Won't know for a couple months cause there's still 10" of the white stuff on the ground. Will keep you posted

Most laydn need LED board which they should tell you or update their book. I was going to order one fr DK and they warned me that so I went w ridetimetechnology for complete pkg. I woud send it back.

i'm curious about the heat that the leds are putting out. leds are supposed to be very low current, so there shouldn't be enough heat generated to melt a lens..... in fact, most of the laydown lenses that i have seen say that you have to use a led setup due to the high heat generated by the incandescent bulb.....
