I was hoping somebody could point me in the direction of one of these. I have the smoke turn signal lenses and I would like it all to match

I thought it was a law that brake lights had to be red?

You put a red bulb which makes it red

Get the Kuryakyn one. It includes LED bulbs, as well as the entire housing and smoked lens.

Look at my pic above


Head to www.kuryakyn.com

The Kuryakyn LED tail light sucks. I have one, it is not very bright and after a about 18 months I have a section of LEDs that does not works. I called Kuryakyn and they stated they only had a 1 year warranty.

Check out Clear Alterntives, I bought a LED tail light for my Triumph from them in 2001 and it is still workinng perfectly, it is very bright a looks very cool.

They do a smoke version for the HDs.

Very cool site, thanks for posting that!

I have considered the Kuryakyn... on my list. Do you have the Panecea version? Only 18 months of use? Yuk...

LED lights cannott benifit from the reflector in the housing. Thats why they are considerably dimmer. I took one and used krylon fusion to black out the sides. There's still a bright red glow on the street from the underside. Leave the edges red for better side visibility.

I got mine at denniskirk.com the manufacture was JP Cycles and it was about 30.00 . I didn't replace my bulb so it's still "white" all my freinds keep telling me its NOT red :) LOL .. I do beleive its against the law. It should be red. You can paint the bulb red with marker or purchase a red bulb from JP Cycles for about 1.50 or go LED , oh yeah its laydown smoked.

smoked is cool, i have one, really isn't all that visible, no matter what bulb you put in it. That is the point, to look !!!!in high speed, right? Take off your blinkers and speedo too, chop it out. You got arm signals and you don't really need to know how fast you are going.

I didn't get the Panecea version, just the standard low profile LED tailight.

I have a Kuryakyn smoked LED that I took off mine, if you want it, PM me and I will sell it to you. It works fine, only had it on for about 3-4 months.
