Default Headlight

I just got back from my first evening ride on my 12 SuperGlide. Man does this headlight suck. Has anyone tried this light? http://www.adjureinc.com/pnt50100.html

Make sure it is the Sylvania SilverStar "ULTRA"! They are the brightest! The will be in the GOLD colored package not the silver colored package (they are just the plain SilverStar bulbs).

Exact fitment HID kits can be had for around $150-$250 pending the finer details, brand, etc.. I got a Silverstar Ultra the first week I got mine earlier this year, adjusted the lamp to where I wasn't looking 4 feet in front of me, and have been satisfied ever since. BUT that doesn't mean I don't want a light that can burn retinas or shoot down gov't satellites with the high beams.

I swapped the bulb in my Dyna and got rid of the diffuser so there is a bit more light but I am going to an HID when I get around to it. Here is what I plan on using.

I was contemplating passing lamps too but with my fairing it will difficult to mount them.
