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.
WHAT you own stock in a smoked lens factory

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.

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.
