Default Headlight upgrade

I've been shopping around trying to find a decent chrome headlight to replace the ugly stock one. However, most are really expensive. I know you get what you pay for, but has anyone found one that is relatively inexpensive and still good quality?

Anyone tried this one: http://namzcustomcycleproducts.com/p...light.html#top

At $200 it fairly reasonable and has the factory connectors already installed.

Any comments would be appreciated (wow, I just set myself up then).

Also, if you have pictures and prices of headlights I would love to see them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not sure if you are planning on keeping the headlight the stock size or not but here are a couple threads for upgrading to a fatboy headlight.

cobra 2 from eastern performance.

it's only $99, looks WAY better than a fatboy headlight, and is probably the most popular aftermarket headlight on this forum.

Default waiting on delivery

Thanks StevOn, I went through Eastern Performance ($99) and ordered the Cobra II today. Should be here before next weekend.

I was looking at several reviews of the product and many of the reviews stated that the wiring was backwards (red to yellow and yellow to red). Has anyone who installed this headlight run into this? I believe the reviews were from people installing the headlight on a Honda. I am not that concerned because I plan to use the shell and upgrade to HID. Anyone done this with this light? If so, will the ballast fit inside the shell? sure would make installation easier.

Thanks for any input.
