Default LED headlamp instructions

Does anybody have the HD Day Maker LED headlight instructions they can share? I got a led headlamp but no install instructions. I want to make sure I install it right. I did a google search...nothing. Would the parts counter at a dealer be able to print one up?

take off the trim ring, unplug the factory light, plug in the LED, re-install trim ring, ready to rumble.

The install part I know. I just wanted to see if it's compatible with a FXDP with the modulating headlight. Or any other precautions I should know. I don't want to blow up a $400 bulb.

I don't know about the proper instructions for your particular lamp... but they have a video of here:

... check to see if it helps you... hope it does.

I installed the headlight today. I had to 86 the light modulation harness, it looks like it was a aftermarket unit. I'm going to miss it.

Sorry I don't know about these daymakers yet but definately interested... I've been researching hids for my fat bob for a while now but these look sharp... Curious as to what everyone's thoughts are on them...? Are they worth the $$$ over hids?

I can't compare it to HID, I've never seen one on a Dyna. But compared to the stock lamp, big difference. Foucused intense light beam. I picked mine up used. If I had to buy new I'd still buy it.

I've got a 2010 Fat Bob and have been wanting the LED headlights but not wanting to change the look of the double headlight. Joker Machine does make a twin LED headlight, but it has an odd look to it, in my opinion. I spoke to the parts manager at my local dealer and he said the Harley Engineers ARE working on something for the Fat Bob and he thinks they are getting closer to having something because they just put out the daymaker LED's for the Road Glide. So I'm waiting to see if they release something in the spring for my Fat Bob.

I was at my local dealer probably two weeks ago and I coulda sworn they said they did make one for the fat bob they showed me a part number and everything...? That's why I originally checked because I saw a picture of a road glide with them...
