Default Amazon head light

Anyone here have experience with LED headlights purchased from Amazon? My concern is the heat sink. Because there is not a lot of room in the headlight housing, the harness makes contact with the heat sink after installed.

Thoughts please.

Thanks.

While I had an older Dyna the light worked great and was still going strong after using for one year before trading the bike. I also installed the same in the Rocker C I previously owned.

Buy it, install, enjoy. Go for the wisamic over the sunpie though. If i'm not mistaken the sunpie is the one that caused my red warning light to come on with the highbeam. Wisamic hasn't had any issues in 4 years. Install is tight but haven't had any issues with the harness shorting out of anything

I've got a Wisamic and it's okay for the price. If it goes bad, I'll upgrade to something better.

I have one; it's SUPER bright; much moreso than the stock incandescent bulb. So far, no issues with my harness and the heat sink (≈15 months and 6000 miles).

I bought a set for my 7" headlight- spots from amazon.The headlight blew the breaker until I took it out, spots were ok.I believe it was due to heat. I ended up reinstalling the bucket w/ an amazon H-4 led bulb w/ the fan.2 yrs. no problem

If you are looking for a great light, without the $ of the HD Daymaker, or from pirated technology, try VisionX. I put one on my RoadKng and it was great..
