Run-Turn-Brake Kit

Well....even though it was only about 20 degrees in my garage, I went out and installed the Kuryakyn Triple Whammy Run-Turn-Brake kit I recently purchased. I was kind of dreading taking off my Mustang seat as it is kind of a PIA to get the bolts back in....but I went for it anyway.

The R-T-B kit went in real easy...the hardest part was trying to get the unit and wiring plugs to lay somewhat flat...but I finally decided to loosen the bracket that goes across the battery and shoved some of it under there. That worked great and the bracket helped hold it down.

The directions say to replace your turn signal lenses first...but I wanted to make sure the thing worked, so I did those last. After replacing them....I'm undecided if I like the deep dish bezel lens covers....or would just rather have red colored OEM lenses that better match the front turn signal lights.

Gadget's page had a blurb that said you could just paint the inside of your amber OEM lenses with transparent red paint and the lights would appear red when lighted, but amber when not. Has anyone here done that? If so....did the lights remain bright enough or did you have to get LED lights?

I looked around a bit online to see if anyone had any red OEM replacement lenses....but I couldn't really find any in the brief period I searched.

Anyways....I really like the idea of having three running lights and brake lights back there, so that much is all good....but I'm really undecided as to which way to go on the lenses themselves... :-/. Any thoughts....???
