Default LED Headlight

Anyone aware of an LED headlight that has the appearance of a stock headlight? I like the brightness and low current draw LEDs offer, but I’m not a fan of the styling, especially on a classic styled motorcycle.

You should always start with your year and model you'll get a lot more assistance...

Anyways If you Have the older style 7-in headlight then you can get away with just a retro fit LED bulb with a fan cooler.. 3 cob tends to do the best. But if you have a 5 3/4" headlight the buckets just aren't big enough to adapt them so you have to go with that bogus looking five-eyed beam... But there are some pretty good ones out there that light the road nicely..

I guess times are a changing.. used to be difficult to get a led too for the smaller buckets .

I bought a Grote 7" bulb for my 7" bucket. It looks pretty "stock". Looks like they don't make a 5 3/4" version, but, while checking I came across this:

It looks very similar. I have no knowledge of how well it works, though.

Give these guys a shot. Great service. Bulbs will fit 5-3/4'' bucket. My dad and brother have them. Years without issues.

Thanks for the replies. My bike is a 2003 Wide Glide. I'm leaning toward an LED bulb to replace the stock H4 halogen. Just have to make sure it fits the housing.
