If you have orange or yellow bulbs behind the smoked lens, they will still see you fine.
What gets me is that we all spend thousands of dollars to make our bikes look better, then leave ugly orange turn signal lens on the bike. Like I said, the smoked lens are a cheap upgrade.
I was told to go with yellow fog lamps on the driving lamps... the lenses are wider so cagers can see me better. I'm not fond of the color and just bought some smoke bulbs, but frankly, I think I'm going to keep the yellow... check it out, you'll find out the wider angle is a help.
Better yet go with the red lens lighting kit... That makes all three lights work as tail lights, brake lights and of course turn signals. You gotta be visible so these morons out there dont kill you.
One of the first things I change on every bike I own.
Smoke lenses with red LED clusters. Cagers see me just fine.
Now that's what I am talking about....Looks good, why do it half *** when you can smoke it all. I don't understand why people would get so fired up with the amber (orange) lenses but not care about doing the back as well...umm
I think bikes look good with the colored lenses, just not my bike. I wanted black and chrome, the amber and red just didn't work for me. With the LEDs I don't think you would be sacrificing safety or visibility at all...cuz those are bright as hell.
I get pulled into ladies dillards to look at all the purses she likes every now and then when i want mama to loosen up the purse strings for my crap and this thread is much the same experience. Thanks.
