LED Projectors

Did a few searches and found some basics but not exactly this question.

Who can tell me if the've run the Harley brand daymaker vs. one off Amazon (e.g. Eagle Lights)? Did you notice a difference? I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for, but I'm also a firm believer in Harley is proud of their ugly baby.

Thanks for the feedback.

If you just like dropping extra cash or get a good deal, I'd say buy the H-D, otherwise the knock will get the job done.

I have seen knock off day makers vs the first Gen. H.D. version in side by side comparison and have found little to no difference.
I have a bit of a review in my build thread for my FXDXT on this forum site if you feel like looking at that.

I too am a firm believer in not paying the premium just for the name. FYI eagles aren't knock offs they are the real deal

I have both. I have a HD Daymaker in my Iron 883, and a Wiisamic knock off in my Street Bob. I would buy the knock off again without a doubt. It is just as good in every way, and cost 1/8 of what the Daymaker cost. I bought the legit one before I learned better.

Later!
