I tried silver stars and a couple other "better" bulbs as well as drop in LED bulbs. They were better than stock. In fact the dual halogen light on my SGS was better than the stock light on my soft tail custom. I work long hours in spring, riding home at eleven , twelve even one am. I need good ,no great light. I used a discount and the Mrs.said it's about safety. Get the day maker. It did take a few attempts to get aim right but it works great and would do it again. There is an updated version now that I would go with, directly from JW Speaker.

If you want info on the various led headlight,check out the youtube videos by Headlight Revolution. They tested the beam patterns and lux output of 10 headlights.

I do like better lights, the last trip I took with guys from work they got to lead in the dark AM hours.
Talk about lighting up the road....

for my 08 I swapped bulbs. DK Custom. direct plug and play led replacement bulbs. I did the headlight and both spots for $100. I just don't like the projector led lamps. You can't see them from a side angle. They don't show any light. If you are wanting a stealth machine it might work. I want to be seen by the idiot cage driver.

No one using the JW Speaker, 8700 evo 2?

It's a bit pricey, a bit less then Daymaker.

Amazing light! Love it!

I am running the JW Evo 2 as well. It is great. Much wider pattern than the Daymaker. Highly recommend it!
