Any hoo..im ok now with the red sig lights doing triple duty... but they do sell red spray paint for glass at the craft stores... Just how difficult is it to remove the rear tailight???<br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2007/04/22 13:50   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #24441 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Shocked!!! 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Pop Rivet wrote: Doc I think it is the clear lense with the colored leds that is th problem here... In what way. I've used red with red lens but not red with clear. Red in red are not as intense are white in red (straight on). The lens is just used to diffract the light as the LEDs have narrow angle of view. I think it's the clear lens. Are we splitting hairs, talking the same thing. If I remember I'm going to hop over to Princess Auto and see if the have any clear tail lights and test one out.

Do I have to put you on a train and bring ya down here??? it is the colored leds that get washed out in the daylight....

I think the natives have blockaded the train. it is the colored leds that get washed out in the daylight.... I understood that but I'm saying it's the white lens. If the LEDs were behind a red lens you may not have that problem. I don't have the same problem with my red lens but I don't know the rating of my LED vs yours. The same with my side reflectors they are white with amber leds... Your side reflectors are LEDs? or are you talking about your rear turn signal lights. see them over the holes on my windshield mount??? .... not from the rear I can't.

They are on..as is the front sig running lights... The lower amber reflectors are more visible It is a problem with clear lens... colored LEDs for sure in the day light...
