I'm not sure, but they appeared to be this (mounted upside down):

When you order the lights, you select the mounting hardware you need. The lights come with all necessary hardware, wiring harness with power relay & "volume control" (which is used to set brightness level between 15% - 85% when the bike is on low beam, goes full bright on high beam). All included in the price of the lights.

The thing is I want that mount in the pick you posted. Then I could use the HD bracket like your buddy. When I order the lights, I going to get the fender mount. Hopefully that way I have two mounting options, hopefully.

The difference between the 2 kits (D13 vs D104) is just the hardware (included bolts & spacers), I believe the brackets themselves are the same. In fact, the CVO lights may have actually been the D104 kit?

[QUOTE=BigMike;17046708]How many of you ride at night? Me, almost never.[/QUOTE

With this break in the weather we got this week, I have rode every night this week. Not commuting, just riding. I am not satisfied with the Daymakers at all. I complained when I took my bike in for the first service, to no avail. I complained again on the second service and asked them to "flash" my headlight so that both low and high beam come on when switched on high, they cant do that. They did adjust my headlight but that just made my high beam useless. I have been looking at the clearwaters. I want to throw wide light down the road.

Default Lighting improvement comments?

So... in Utah where they have potholes and improper paving around the manhole covers every 300' and road paint lines that haven't been maintained in the last 15 years... riding at night and being an old fart just don't go together. I have never been impressed with night riding on a Harley anyway... so the question is... can you make your night riding vision safer without blinding the oncoming traffic? Does converting your headlight/driving lights to LED really make that much of an improvement in seeing road problems? I am asking because the aftermarket pricing of humless radio proof LED lighting prices are getting reasonable.

I have two Saddlesores planned for April and a Coat-to-Caost planned in Sept. so I figured it was finally time to get my lighting taken care of.

Like Ottomatic, I bought the Krista/Erica hybrid setup. I'll post pics once I get them installed.
