Default LED Headlights

Anyone have any experience with the Harley LED headlight kit? Could really use some more light when night riding, but that kit is pricey. I'd really like to get a real world opinion before dropping that much cash.

I bought the cyron LED H4 replacement bulb 10x better than halogen and 1/16 the price of the Harley kit. I believe that this is the same one that fuelmoto sells on their site.


others have had really good luck with the motoillumination LED headlight drop-in I think they look really good too.

Not sure what kit you are referring to but, I replaced stock bulb with the pricey Daymaker and am very happy with it.

I had the Motoillumination on my 5-3/4" (old front end)
I have a TruckLite on my 7" (new front end)

Love em. Got compliments from guys of how bright they are.

I got the Daymaker on my 15' WG. The difference is huge. During the daytime I run with the high beams on, and when following behind my girlfriend in the car, she commented on how bright it was. At night it makes a clear difference also, much more crisp lighting that projects further out then with the stock unit. I'm very please with this headlight. And installation was crazy simple.

I did a H4 LED bulb from amazon and I was impressed actually. Ive since moved to the UK and the roads are a bit less lit and more dangerous so Ive stepped unto a daymaker... Life changer. Cost a lot but worth it. If you're looking to save a little the LED H4 was only like 40 and worth its weight in gold. The LED H4 was just in a stock 01 dyna housing. see picture

A little kids flash light gives off more light than a stock bulb. Anything is an improvement, just depends on what you want to spend.

Will it fit in a 5-3/4 housing? A friend of mine bought a LED bulb and it wouldn't fit in the housing, the housing wasn't deep enough.

I just got the Motoillumination light. Haven't mounted it yet, but I'll post pics once I install it. It's $160 shipped, $110 if you buy it with a cosmetic blemish.
