The turn signals and fender tip are smoked lens, the rest are standard. The only disappointment is the LED fender tip light, it isn't very visible. The LED rear turn signals are very nice, they act as turn/run/brake and don't need the extra module to do it.

Have you checked into ride time technology or Custom Dynamics? Sounds like you have the set up I want but I want to go Smoked all the way around with LED.

Has anyone seen the LED spotlights? Ive seen thr pair offered up by HD in their last tease magazine yet havent seen anyone ells selling them. My led headlight looks really bright which makes the stock spots look somewhat "yellow" compared to the led. Where can I get the led spots???

Sticks out quite a bit. I ended up using one of those "frenched" trim rings on it.

I just put the LED headlight and spots on mine last night from Custom Dynamics and muchu better. Have not adjusted them any but nobody was putting there brights on when I met them on the road. They are a white light. Had a Osram 70/65 in the headlight(different one from HD)before this and these are better a little different beam pattern but I was seeing the sides of the ditches good on the ride to work this morning 72 miles. Light gets out there pretty far.

Mine dont because I have a extra trim ring on my headlight and spots, if I didnt...they would stick out also.
