a cheaper way to go is to get a bucket outta drag that has a metal backing to it and put a HID bulb in it from http://www.ddmtuning.com they have a high and low beam bulb and its great...or just go with a silver star bulb from walmart they are a good improvement to
Could someone tell me the correct Siverstar bulb to use? As I remember they have a few similar.
Thanks

Oh and one more thing. on my bike, the led headlight box and the books said that I had to order an HD replacement light housing. I got the light and had to order the replacement housing(which only came in black at the time). a couple days later I decided i'd try the led in the stock housing and it worked like a charm. I called the dealer and cancelled the replacement housing. I have seen others on here state the same thing about it working in the stock housing. Don't know if this applies to all the bikes that say you need the replacement but on my 09 I didn't need it. mine is 5 3/4". hope this helps you too.

That's ok they say it wont fit on the wide glide but a another forum member that has a '10 FXDWG put one on with the stock bucket (that was the clincher for me) now mine is waiting to be installed once I find the time to go to my buds warehouse(my winter storage) to install it

cool, you'll love it!! much much much much better than stock! it takes some tweaking to get it aimed just right so that the low beam hits where you want and the high beam isn't too high or low. I had to stop and adjust mine 3 or 4 times to get it right, then i put a tiny mark on the light bracket and the triple tree with a sharpie in case it moves any.

Do yourself a favor and go to Walmart and buy a Sylvania Super Silverstar, (guessing which one) Read the back lable. The H4 is about $15 and as much headlite as you will need at a fraction os the price. The replacement number is 1004 or 1007, Someone will chime in here on the number. I have replaced the stock bulb with one of these on my last 4 bikes, they work well.

..... I have the 7" HD LED, it throws uber light way up the road, but the beam is very focused and there isn't much lit up around the front of the bike. You won't get the sides of the roads and ditches lit up which is where you want to look for critters. I'm considering aux lighting for that reason.
