Default LED Headlights
I want to swap the halogen headlights on my FXDF to LED but $650.00+ for the MoCo Daymakers are a lot. Any suggestions? post pic's if you can. Thanks

Yes, the drop-in LEDs are worth the money as they give out far more light. However, they are not perfect in that the light is not very focused. I used one for a year or so, but I found a used Daymaker for a decent price and have that now, but it too is not perfect and has its own problem. I would not pay full price for a Daymaker and if some thing happens to this one, I will likely get another drop-in.

Well, "Daymaker" is trademarked by H-D. Everything else is "Daymaker style."

I love my LED I got from Fuel Moto. It lights up the entire road. Road signs glow. I believe its under $ 100. Easy to install.
