Default Smoke "lay down" brake light lense (non-led)

I'm looking for a smoke replacement (not led) for the stock brake light lense for my 05 ultra classic. Having no luck except funky led models that ship from china...

Smoke lense, red bulb??? Anybody know where to find such a thing?

I have one in the garage but trust me, there is no incandescent red bulb made that is bright enough. Been there. I settled for one from Radiantz and it works very well. Smoked laydown with or without plate light. http://www.radiantz.com/category-s/920.htm

Bikers Choice Laydown Tail Lamp - License Plate for L03-Up HD Models Item # : 287463 From Fortnine here in Canada. They also use to carry a super bright red bulb part# P270359. I use it, trust me it's bright. The bulb is not listed on the website, you have to call to get it.

Also, Drag Specialties, Laydown Taillight lens, #284246.

Get a smoked lens and then put in a Custom Dynamics LED bulb insert. lt1-xjs is right. No incandescent bulb will work with smoked lenses. Especially on a motorcycle..... unless you don't value you safety.

I am not taking a jab at you but I have had a few Bright *** Light brake lights and they are wicked bright, so much so that I now have a smoked lens one on my Road King.

I have been a big advocate of bright lights on my motorcycles for many years for both front and rear.

BAL are leds. We're on the same page. I have smoked lenses on all lights except headlights/running lights. I am seen.

Drag Specialties lens and a 3157 red LED bulb works good for me.

I bought a Drag Specialties laydown smoked lens for the taillight on my '06 Road King. I also purchased a 3157R red led bulb to use with it. The Road King uses the clear upper lens of the taillight to illuminate the licence plate above it. Will the tag light now appear red instead of white? Seems this wouldn't be legal. Is there another bulb that should be used instead?
