LED or HID for 2014 Fat Bob
Hi guys,
I was told there are no harley LED's for the twin headlight, they said you can get the international dual kit for $500 but seems expensive just to have the second light on all the time. Any ideas about getting more light from the twin lights? I like the style so don't want to convert to a single unit.

There are a few options, already listed/linked here in your thread. First and cheapest option is to use a brighter or different wavelength bulb. I tried that initially and it's marginally better, but I wasn't happy with it compared to the LED setups on my other bikes.
All the other options are going to be a lot more expensive relatively speaking. The next option would be to swap out your headlight bucket for a single light and then use either the appropriate HD Daymaker or Trucklite LED headlight in that. That will give you the most traditional set up with hi/lo beam function etc. The big drawback there (in my opinion) is that you lose one of the features unique to the Fat Bob. I personally really dig the dual lights and it's one of the reasons I wanted the FB.
The other option is the adapter bracket I've made that allows you to fit the 4.5" Daymaker or Trucklite LEDs into your stock housing and retain the stock look of your bike. The big downside is that there's no hi/lo beam option, but in my experience with the LEDs on my other bikes I never use the hi beams anyway so that wasn't an issue for me personally. The thread with more info and pictures of the light patterns has already been linked to.
