Default What is the alternative to Daymakers?

With the time switching over to winter hours soon, that means I'll be commuting home in the dark. I wanted to make a point to get some better headlights for my Bob.

I remember reading about another brand of headlights that is essentially the same as HD Haymakers without the price. Anyone know the brand and where I can look into buying one? Don't really feel like spending $400 buxs on a headlight....as nice as they are.

Thanks

Motoillumination is a popular one, and there's another that is essentially the same as a daymaker, I think it's Trucklite?

JW Speaker makes the daymakers. I believe you can purchase the non HD one for cheaper. TL does not make a 5 3/4 light.

I put a 7" bucket off an 04 Fatboy on my dyna ($50 e bay),, then added a Diamond Cut Adjure lamp.($52 e bay)
The difference was huge, major improvement over the punny stock 5 3/4.
Everything was easy drop on, no you don't have to cut wires, just un-plug the stock light, de-pin the connector, slip it through the 7" assembly and plug it all back in.

Just scroll the last few back pages of this section,, there are several current headlight/lighting topics.
Read this one,, all 3 pages;

Hawglenses makes one like the Daymaker for around $150. Moto illumination makes great lights, but as of now, the 2nd generations are not ready and there is a waiting list.
