No it does not carry the light. I have had them for over 8 months now and I REFUSE to sell them for that reason right there(safety). I have spoken with Ryan @ Durange several times and I have been working with him on this for over a year and a half trying to get this lens produced. They are trying to find a black that will reflect the light to see the #'s but I am not sure when/if that will happen.Here is a pic of the lens(prototype from Durange, it is not prefect) and it does look cool, but I will not sell the ones I have until a change is made.....Randy

Now, if they made an outline for the numbers and letters, just surround the preexisting digits, then that would be the best of both worlds IMO.

It's been two years since I have driven her, and I never got to drive her at night. But I don't think they did, because the numbers are silk screened onto the white vinyl.
