Looks cool. I have a question though. What is the difference between the HD tailights and the regular tailights?

Ill be picking up my FX4 on Monday. Cant wait!

If you are getting a 2011 FX4... you will have the lights we refered to as HD/Raptor.
In 2010 the insides were not black but rather Chrome (As seen in the original post) or gray. Only the Harley Davidson & Raptors came with the black interior plastic on thier tails and HDs.

Pretty sure the new ones still have the clear border around the light though, which this post was showing how he painted it to help it blend.

Guys... this looks awesome. I've been trying to think of a way to do this and was wondering if it could really be this simple! I'm going to try and find a store that is open that sells paint like this right now!
