Default Street Glide tail light ?

With the tag being mounted below the tail light, does the tail light have a clear lower lenses in it like my 99 has on the top of it to light the tag?

Question. Would the SG tail light lens fit in place of a RK Custom lens? I am thinking of moving my plate down but need to get rid of the RK Custom light lens which shines up to the current plate position.

The light for the license is in the turn signal bar above the plate, shines downward.

Light in bar is on SG, I wanted to know if SG tail light lens would fit in place of RK Custom lens. Want to move license plate on RK Custom down.

Sorry, maybe not being clear enough. I don't really care about lighting up the license plate as well as it should be, just want to get the plate down as it looks goffy IMO on a RK Custom up high.

Thanks.

I am sure a SG lens will fit your RK. As for lighting the tag well what is up to you.
