Default 2008 fat bob day maker install.. Whats required?

I have a 08 fat bob and want to change my headlights to led/day makers and have seen plenty of makers of them. I wanting to get input about what some people's experiences are. Any suggestions and input are welcome.

Welcome.

A search on ebay.ca for "led headlight harley fat bob" will give you lots of options.

Scroll down on this thread page 7, you'll see a pic of blacked out LED lights: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...another-7.html
I think he bought those from an ebay seller. I can't speak for him but I don't see any complaints about them in that thread.

It's on my todo list as well but our dual headlights are already pretty good.

Yes , as above .
Just by some of ebay or amazon, it’s a easy fit.
By the way, what happened to Tall Timber ? Haven’t seen any posts from him in a long time?

I did this to my 2015 Fat Bob last year. Straight forward enough but I did need to file down parts of the casing of the supplied LED light unit so that it would fit. The wiring was straightforward enough - I may have made it a bit more difficult by not wanting to mess with the original wiring loom so that I could switch back to the original lights if I needed to...

Yep , i didn’t mess too much with the wiring either. Have to change it back to original every time i go to inspection. If you want more visibility i strongly recommend Custom Dynamics pro beams.
