Default Billet headlamp

Hi guys,
i wana instal a 4-1/2" bullet headlamp on my WG
the H-D cost around 300 $
the after market costs around 100$
and they all looks the same
but a friend told me the after market may get rusted after a while
Does anyone here have any experience with them???

No prob with after market here, HD will rust also if you dont't take care of it.

I got a Cobra ll almost 2 years ago for $99 and still looks new.

Just my opinion but the 4 1/2 looks to small.

I've got the Cobra II also. Best $99 I've spent on my bike.

I never had problems with either the HD or aftermarket headlights. The HD ones are way too overpriced, but if you shop around you can find 4 1/2 & 5 3/4 headlights for $100. http://www.easternperformance.com/ca...hts-for-Harley

One of my winter projects is to do something about the headlight on my 06 Street Bob. The rivets have loosened up on the stock one and the rattle going down the road is annoying. Either going to drill out the rivets and use nylock nuts and stainless screws or buy an aftermarket headlight.

I've got an aftermarket Adjure headlight. Had it for almost 3 years, and I just took it apart to change the bulb. No rust at all, but I do keep the bike inside when I'm not riding... but I also ride year around and we get pleanty of rain in the PNW.

and just my opinion, the 4.5 inch looks great on the midglide front end

Why don't you do a headlight change for better lighting instead of looks. Look into the latest and greatest of LED HID lights.
