Daymaker knockoff headlights
Had anyone installed one of the ebay daymaker headlights. Looks pretty similar?

Could you use the stock headlight ring if you drilled and tapped it?

I am not trying to champion the quality of HD parts and I will be the first to admit that the Daymaker is probably hugely overpriced. That being said, I would be very careful with buying any cheaper headlight off of eBay for a motorcycle. Having a knockoff headlight go out in a car is a nuisance, but having your sole source of light crap out while your flying down a road in pitch black conditions could be deadly. If you don't go the Daymaker route, I would strongly suggest buying a one from a reputable company.

I had a stock bulb go out on my Softails Rivera Primo headlight at bike week in Myrtle Beach last summer. It sucked to be stuck in the campground until morning when I could get to the nearest auto parts store. It would suck even more to have it go out while riding at night. Beware of the allure of something cheaper because you just might regret that decision when you need the light the most.

Price is right and works very well. You do have to remove the rubber seal at the back of the bulb assembly.

JW Speaker/Daymaker vs Knockoff comparison.
http://betterautomotivelighting.com/tag/knockoff/
Is almost double the price worth probably the higher quality? Up to you. I think for the 150 the knock-offs are going for is a hell of a price, But I am also big on reliability so I sprung for the new Daymaker. Keep in mind the above posted comparison is with the V1 daymaker.
I think a good in between is the Truck-Lite, I see them for around 200. I would have no concerns running them, our trucks in Afghanistan ran the 7 inchers for headlights and never really gave too many problems.
