This three piece kit is the best value in LED headlights. I have these on my Heritage.

They are awesome. The brand name is Truck Lite. It literally is like night and day.
Truck Lite is a reputable name in the trucking industry.
The only thing is the main 7" headlight sticks out further than normal and looks funny. Use frenched trim rings to hide that and the result looks and functions great.
Much cheaper than JW Speaker and Harley's own Daymaker.
They also draw less current than standard lights.

How much light it puts out.
Every other led bulb I've looked at has a brightness rating.

Brightness rating is pretty much a bullshit measurement that can be manipulated easily and testing methods are often not standardized.
I went through a bunch of stuff with lights in the Jeep world and that community, which is similar to the HD community.
JWSpeaker is considered the best but is ridiculously expensive. Truck Lite is considered second best, probably 90% as good as JWSpeaker, but a fraction of the price.
I have run truck lites and JW speakers in my Jeeps and bike and have been happy with both. JWSpeaker makes Harley's DayMaker.
With LED headlights, aim is more critical than with regular headlights. Aiming headlights on a heritage is very simple.
In the daytime, at certain angles, other people might not be able to tell if your headlight is on.
If you have money to blow, JWSpeaker now has an LED headlight that senses the bike leaning and adjusts the beam for the lean. That thing is about $800 for one dog gone head light!
I have a thread somewhere about my light upgrades.
Next week I will be able to post pictures on a rural road at night on my bike. Can't do that now because I am working at night and sleeping in the daytime. On Wednesday morning when I get off, I am done with work for a week.
I think if you look at my profile in my albums, I might have some pictures.
