Default Help me pick out a tail light

I've been looking all over for a smoked tail light to match my laydown license plate and smoked signals. I have a Fatboy Lo in denim black so I want it dark smoked like the second link but it seems the Kury is just straight to the point. I don't want any chrome around the sides either, just a straight up smoked lense.

I like this one but I'm not sure if it's "smoked" but it looks like it but it says red lense in the description.

I really like this one but don't want to use the turn signals in the lense...I want to keep the stock ones for now.

Then there's the Kuryakyn one that seems the best and more expensive unfortunately.

Have you looked at getting the stock one tinted? There's a guy local to my area that tints tail lights, and it looks sick. And since it only costs like $40, you;d be saving $80-$100 on a new light. I personally like the 2nd light best also, but wanted to pass along the tinting option.

IMO the low profile lens will look the best regardless of what type of fender you have.

Yea I like the low profile look IMO too. The stock one sticks out like a sore thumb.

Did you add that chrome ring around it or does it come on ours from the factory? I'm too lazy to go take the cover off mine and look haha.

Went with the Kuryakyn. It was almost $50 more but it was smoked and low profile. I ordered in time to get it shipped last night too.
