Default LED Headlight.....I know, I know.....

....there are posts out there that address LED headlights, but most posts are 3-5 years old.

Looking for more current info. I know Custom Dynamics. I know Ciro, and I know Daymaker.........I just can't seem to drop $400-800 on a headlight.

I'm looking at these:
Amazon Amazon

Figured I could buy two 0r three (in case they burn out ;-)) for the price of one!

Let the opinions begin!!

4.5 stars from the people who bought one. Easy returns. Now you want to ask the negative Nellie crowd to approve before you make the decision?

I know what they say about opinions....just like @**holes.....

But I would like some feedback if anyone on the forum has one and whether they like it, or wish they'd dropped more cash on something else....

Lots of people like $100 Sunpies

Lots of people like $800 Daymakers

Plenty of choices in between.

I took the mid ground Truck Lite @ $330 for headlamp & passing lamps

Pick a price, pick your poison

Check out Hogworkz, for the price of some headlights you can get headlight and passing lamps to match.

It probably will not be as bright as an expensive one! That is the problem with the led market, there is no conforming, or honest criteria to rate them.

When it comes to seeing where I am going, or 'them' seeing me coming, I want BRIGHT!

Custom dynamics here. Not supporting Chinese hit or miss products. You read reviews on these things and some get good ones and rave about them and people get bad ones and rant on them. My view on a headlight is what happens if it fails a long way from home. Halogens are everywhere but the performance is lackluster. If i am running leds i am running something reliable with a solid company backing it.

I have the Sunpie ones with the side spots too. Love them! They are better than a buddies stock led oem lamps on a 2018 Trike.

I have been running the Eagle Lights on my Road King for a couple of years now. A bit more expensive than the ones in the link, but they have worked great. I am happy with them. They claim a lifetime warranty.
