It's the Little Things
Just swapped out the stock amber turn signal lenses with the smoked lenses and amber bulbs.
I always save all the original packaging, instructions and OEM parts in case I ever sell the bike.
Anyway, I took a quick look at the instructions to see if they mentioned adding dielectic or lithium grease to the bulb contacts. They don't, but the factory bulbs did have it.
But what made me laugh was the first line in the instructions.
"Remove stock lenses and discard." Nice try MOCO!!
Kinda like the instructions on the Harly Sunwash that say....
"Pour 2 capfuls into a HD 3 1/2 Gallon Wash Bucket"
Anyway, it's some of the Little Things that the MOCO comes up with that really crack me up.
BTW, I figure that my Home Depot bucket qualifies as an HD bucket so my warranty should be intact.

The smoked lens look awesome at a stop not running, the reason I am getting them next order. What I was really hoping you could share is how they glow running during day and night? Is it a full glow or just a hot spot in the center where the amber bulb burns?
Thanks in advance

Yep, did turn signals, fender tip and rear/brake smoked. I normally use dielectric grease on all connections that can get wet. Keeps the corrosion down.
As for the instructions. Some technical writer that never rode or wrenched wrote them. Mainly use them for reference. Do not follow them blindly.
Hey, does anyone have the smoked auxiliary lamps? If so, how do they look?

Other than that, I can never see them while riding but love the look when the bikes parked.
