Default L.E.D. HD Head Light

I been looking at the HD L.E.D. Head light for my Dyna Low. I seen one on the road this week at night. Man this light really light's up the road. Is the Low beam the light on the bottom or the light on top. There's two lights in the headlight one on the top and one on the bottom.. Just trying to see which is HI and Low Beam.
Thanks.

Well the only way to tell is having your bike face against the wall, flip the switch and you should be able to figure out lol.

Do yourself a favor and research all brands of LED headlights for the harleys. There are others that some say perform better and I know are considerably cheaper than the HD brand LED headlights.
There is some good stuff here on this site about this subject.
I have only 4 incadescent lights on my bike...the 4 small guages in the dash...all the rest are LED's
I am gonna change out those 4 soon.
You need to decide which one for yourself.

I wouldn't even worry about it because the low beam and high beam are almost identical in direction and lumens. I'd say the only time I've ever used my high beam is when I'm going up a steep hill.

I could not see at night with the stock head light, the LED light makes a world of difference.
