I have the HD billet bullet headlight and love it. But if you are looking for more light I would get the HID light from kuraykan or others.

Pick a housing from one of the catalogs and visit Howard at http://www.motorcyclemetal.com and convert it to HID. You will love it.

There is also a light light that some have bought that is cheaper then HD's. It is called a cobra and most get it for around $95. Ebay is a good place to look.

That is my plan with my HD light. I hope that everything will mount inside the housing.

Timberwolfz, what year Lowrider do you ride?&nbsp\\; I have an 04 and I'm also looking for new options, but I'm not sure what to do with the dummy lights that are on the headlight cap.
