Been on the fence on the Daymakers last year. Finally gonna be in the 70s all this week and maybe 80 on Wednesday, so riding season is definitely here. Gonna have to pony up on the Daymaker reflectors this time around.

To me LED's are a no-brainer
That light doesn't look like it fits. The trim ring looks too big?

I sold my 2010 Flhtk with Harley HiD. This setup was much better than my new Flktse Led lights. It is correct to state the Leds are good to be seen in plain day light but are not enough to see far at night: led light is very focused. it is not as wide as Hid. Led are ok in straight line but in turns the focused light does allow you to see far in the turn. You have a lot of dark spots, such as when riding hills or mountain roads. I understand this is not the most we ride but I had to report this when weighing pros and cons.

If you have spots and aimed properly that will widen your light considerably. Mine flood the road and sides of the road very well

I'm not trying to judge but plug & play HID's are not DOT approved and are illegal in most states. Without the proper lens they through light everywhere and blind oncoming traffic. HD LED's and Truck-Lite's are DOT approved.

Actually there is no gap between the light and the rim, think as its the black version and it does protrude a little it is a optical illusion
