Are the Softails (Heritage and Fatboy excluding Softail Springer) the only models that have the sealed beam OEM headlamp and are not interchangeable with the FLH and FX models?

Seem that some of the mounts don't fit real well so I took a dremel and trimmed my OEM bucket out. Wish I would have taken pictures of that. Any way left about and inch from the front of the bucket all the way around and removed the rest. Took maybe 10 mins with dremel and a couple of reinforced cutoff disc. Love to look so far. It was cloudy here and getting late so didn't get to see it in good sunlight yet. As for the lights, just from the projection on the garage door I can tell it is much brighter that OEM. Going to wire the AUX Lights to stay on with high beam and hopefully I can get it adjust and a test ride sometime this week.


Now that it has been a couple months, have you had any issues with the headlight? I am looking at ordering one of these myself.

No I haven't and it is really bright. Very satisfied so far...Have not got to put a lot of mile on it ....maybe 300 and maybe 50 night but it will light up reflective road signs in full sunlight...I also installed a Headlight Modulator last week and works really good with it as well...Been really busy but I will try and get some night pic or a video on here soon.
