No it isn't. That one is HUGE. The ones I have seen are smaller and tuck nicely into the indentation in the top of the trunk lid.
They do indeed look like original equipment and a part of the lid.
BUT......stand by please.
I came into this discussion unprepared, and I apologize for that.
I will get some more information and pictures and then we can take it up again.
Custom Dynamics makes the brake light that looks most stock, however all of the third Brake lights provide added visibility.
I had mine dealer installed, The first one some of the LED's stopped working after a year, Custom Dynamics stood behind the
product and shipped me another one. This one is still working after 7+ years :thumbup:
Here are pictures of mine. It is the one made by Custom Dynamics. The OP says he does not want this one as he thinks it is "HUGE". Says he wants something smaller. Never seen anything smaller so no idea what he has in mind.....?
The OP is right here. You can talk TO me.
Thank you for the new pictures.
It does indeed look like what I am wanting.
For me at least the other pictures just didn't look right.
THANK YOU.
EDIT: Here is what is confusing me. The pictures on their web site and other pictures provided look weird.

Was the top of the trunk lid really THAT different on the older models ??
Or is it just some kind of optical illusion ??
Anyhow, mystery solved.
Thanks to all who helped.
E.R. Didn't mean to exclude you. I was just showing example of what I thought you didn't want so perhaps someone else would have a suggestion. I'm glad everything got sorted out. I agree that some of the pictures look a little distorted. I think the trunk lids are the same. The light's reflection doesn't give a good representation of how good these look and fit. I like the simplicity of it's looks. Those lights that include turn signals are a bit "busy" for me. Instead I opted for full outside edge mirror LED turn signals. I think they are more visible and I can see when I leave the signal flashing.
After looking at the high middle light it is hard to imagine the bike without it. Glad to be of assistance.....
You're welcome. No, the trunk lid hasn't changed. My 2014 is the same as my nephew's 2010. Looking at the Custom Dynamics pics I see they really could have better photos posted. Their photos really don't show it as well as canamjhb's do. Glad you got it all sorted out.
Here's a pic of the LEDs on the 2013 I had. They are Super Bright Flexstrips. Not as big as the CD unit, almost as bright, and don't blend aesthetically like the CD one does. But they were a whole lot less $$.
Problem solved, at least I think.
Spyder is at the dealers for:
Hand brake lever.
Alignment
Custom Dynamics high mount brake light......which they had in stock.
Some tips from me on installing that nice trunk light.

Another vote for Custom Dynamics HMT.
Nice job clearing up that questionable piece of information by Smoaks. When I watched that video I rolled my eyes so hard you could probably have heard it. There was some misinformation and confusion there. He was creating some FUD right there (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). He's no doubt a good mechanic, but there's been multiple times in his videos when he starts getting technical about things and goes a bit off the rails.
People shouldn't be scared away from adding quality LED lights to their rigs. I've got an HMT (along with a fair bit of other electrical accessories) and have had no issues. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to add accessories from Custom Dynamics, TricLED, or other reputable makers.
