Another vote for the JW Speaker. I am very happy with mine. But I upgraded from the stock halogen, not sure how it compares to other LED lights.
Are you installing this on a 2018+ Softtail? I bought a JW Speaker 7" 8790 Adaptive 2 headlight and took apart the OEM headlight bucket on my 2019 Sport Glide, to discover that the headlight mounting bracket connects to the back of the headlight rather than the bucket. The mounting holes on the back of the JW Speaker light are narrower than the OEM holes, but it might work with an adapter plate.

I have a 2014 Road King. It was plug and play, perfect fit. I did have to adjust it down a little with the alignment screws.
Even if LED's headlights are designed here they are all more than likely made in China. As I posted on another thread the dirty secret about the "environment friendly" lighting is that making them deals with a lot of toxic chemicals, thus production in China where they don't give a crap about stuff like that..The key is the quality systems that are in place for the larger more reputable companies doing business there. The inexpensive lights are of questionable quality from the LED's themselves to the housings that they package them in.
JW Speaker lights are assembled in Germantown WI. I am a local truck driver and they are just about a daily stop for me, they actually have three plants they work out of.

yup, no doubt, however, most likely "assembled in the USA with globally sourced parts" IE Chinese parts...

I don't doubt you but as mentioned the parcels that you are dropping off probably contain LED's that are sourced from China. Most electronic components are. There is nothing wrong with what they are doing as they are maintaining the quality control. That is the difference between companies like that and the knock offs like SunPie and the others sold on amazon.
I just installed the Custom Dynamics Adaptive headlight. It wasnt cheap but less expensive than H-D. Lifetime warranty.
used it for the first time on back country roads at night when there was no traffic and the lighting was perfect. Best headlight Ive had on my bike. Worth the cash.
I paid $800 for the CD lights on my Road Glide and money well spent. I have truck lite on my Road King and happy with them as well. The options for your Bat Wing is cheaper than the RG's.
