Default Tail Light Ideas Please

I was wondering if anyone had links or pic's for replacement tail lights. I'm trying to clean up my rear fender and that large tail light needs to go. I still want to keep the same location tho. I modded the rear plate holder to the shock and drilled a minnieLED spot light into the tail light and it lights the plate. So I really don't want to mess with the wiring again. Thanks!

"Edited In" I wanna stay away from, skulls, Maltese, Coffins, etc.. That stuff may have spiked my interest 30 years ago, lol, But now I want to keep (and make) things smoother.

Convert the turns to brake/turn/tail and be done with it (like the Nightster)....I'm doing same, then going with maltese cross led lights, and bobing rear fender.

I like that idea, and will have to give it some serious thought.

i looked at the back and i was thinking why would u make the brake light smaller when the turn signals are humungous!!!! but the side view shows them as very tiny, i love those haha. thats pretty cool low profile from any other view but important where it counts.

as for the rear, you could mod the fender and do a slim low laying tombstone kinda light

I can live with the diameter of the light (if I had to), but the diving board has to go.
