Narrative:
Landing on runway 35L at den, I was trying to expedite off the runway and I clipped a taxiway light with the left propeller. The reverse high speed taxiway was where it happened and I believe that they are extremely hard to see coming from the other direction at night. I heard the controller say that another aircraft was on a 3 mi final, and I felt compelled to hurry. I saw what I thought was the exit but I cut it too close.
