Default What's the difference between the different passing lamp lenses? (upgrading to new style lamps)

I have a 2000 FLSTC and would like to upgrade the headlight and passing lamps to the newer style. Looking in the Harley catalog, there are a few different lenses available for the passing lamps. Does anybody have any idea what the difference between them is, besides cosmetics? I would imagine that the light ouput patterns are different, but I can't find any info regarding this anywhere.

Also, if anyone else has already done the upgrade, I would appreciate any tips/tricks regarding purchasing parts and/or installation. Thanks guys!

The newer ones have reflector optics,I switched mine they are indeed brighter! Especially in the daytime

don't forget to buy the 50dollar bulb converter so you can install normal replacement bulbs in them.. good investment..in the long run, so when they go bad just replace the bulb and not the whole f'n optic shroud...
