Default Chrome Headlight Housing
I have a 2012 Wide Glide with the black headlight housing and chrome ring factory. I am looking for a chrome housing which would accept the factory ring. I have considered an aftermarket housing but need factory since I have the optional daymaker headlight already. Any help is appreciated.

You don’t need factory, just one the same size that fits your headlight. As far as I know they are all what 5 1/4 or something diameter? Check out Headwinds etc....I actually have one for sale in the Dyna section...but it’s not stock, it’s a headwinds bucket. Ran it on my Superglide until I went with a 7” light.

What did you use to do that? I'm thinking of the same thing. Do you have a photo? Or is it the one with the fairing? (I'd like to see it naked.)

Basicly I put an FLH front end on it. It’s a little more complicated then that but I wanted that FLH look....I used a Switchback nacelle w/custom trees, tubes, internals and lowers...

but it I have seen people use a Fatboy or Heritage light housing and to me looks much better w/ that 7” light. I always thought that 5” light was to small.
