I have the black smoke on mine,and I mean black.You can't see the bulbs when they aren't lit.With the colored bulbs behind I've had no complaints.YMMV.
I dunno a guy at work has the smoked lenses and I can barely see him from behind when we hit the street after work. I like the look but not the visibility issue. When guys drop their turn signals down from the handbars and mount them to the forks the headlight overwhelms the signal visiblity as far as I'm concerned. I'm mindful of how cagers see my scoot and my intentions. Just an oppinion mind you.
