Default 2016 Wide Glide Headlight

Slightly new and have not found this topic anywhere so sorry if it has been covered elsewhere.

So I want to put the kuryakyn 7 inch led headlight on my 16 wide glide. Has anyone else tried putting it on any other dyna models with success? Is there a different housing I would need or is it a plug and play? Thanks in advance


This is the light I am looking at:

That headlight set-up is for a bagger in case you haven't noticed!

Didn't realize it was for a bagger
So I have to use the 5 3/4 led light that Harley sells? Its just so expensive. Or are there other led light options?

Check out the thread, Moto Illumination LED headlight. Cheaper and brighter than the Daymaker.

Thanks for the info Chase1961
Would I need to put passing lights or auxiliary lights with these or are they bright enough by themselves?
Lots of deer in Michigan so I would like to see the those glowing eyes on the sides if possible.

I suppose you could add aux. lights, but I think they are bright enough. If you'll go to the thread, there's pics.

looks like you'll need to go get a 7 inch lamp bucket. ebay is covered in them.

your stock setup is for a 5 and 3/4s lamp.
