Here it is....

[ZG]

That does look darker in that pic... How about when you take it outside in sunlight??

[mikeboileau]

Inside it's dark....Ray Ban dark.  I don't think I'm gonna use it.  Yours looked like light smoke.

Yes, mine is "light" smoke. Does he also sell a dark smoke? If so, maybe they shipped you the wrong one?? If that's the case you should contact them to ask...

All I saw for sale was smoke.  I'll try to contact him.

I'll buy it to try it out if you don't want it.  Just let me know if you would like to sell.

I got mine on Monday and installed it on Tuesday and Mike's does look alot darker than the one I got. But with a Black bike, I wouldnt mind the dark as long as the red shows thru nice and bright.

Hook it up to a 12v source Mike and see how bright it is.

It could be bright, but it's not going on my bike.

The one posted on Ebay looks like the stock light....mine is on the way...hope it is NOT that dark colored lens attached herein...if it is...he is going to be hearing bad things from me for mis-representing the product and pic included in his ad....! 

I wanted more and brighter light...not less!

Here's what he sent me:

Dear n9nbn,

I think this color also looks awesome, as long as it gives dark red when
braking, red when running and amber when turning. Don't you think so? These
are really popular on ebay. We produced the kind your friend has but since
many customers asked for dark color, we producte another smoke. I hope you
agree with me. Thank you.
Thank you!

Maybe someone with a black bike needs it......

Are the built-in turn signals amber? I didn't even light them up to see. If they were, maybe I would hook them up.

[ninjawarrior1400]

Ok I got mine today..it is the clear lens posted on Ebay ...NOT the darker colored lens that some members are receiving.....so am happy so far...

So far I have mine as a brake light only.....is anyone using it as a full-time running light AND a brake light too?

Anyone tied the yellow wires into the rear signal lights yet...??

How do they work?

[SimonSaysDie]

When the blinker is on, half of the tail light flashes amber with the turn signal; the other half stays red.  I'm not using them, but I tested them to see if they worked.
