That is a very generous offer. I have been riding Superguides for many years hence my screen name and still have my Twin cam. I recently purchased a sweet 1991 Ultra for which the headlamp is for.

+1 on the Trucklites. I replaced the stock sealed beam spots with halogens over ten years ago. About five years ago I replaced the spots with Trucklite LEDs, and then finally dumped my HID headlamp (which was my first solution to replace the unsatisfactory halogen) for the Trucklite LED headlamp a year ago. More light, less current draw, plug and play. What's not to like? Get all three - headlamp and two spots and maybe you will be able to enjoy riding at night.

My Sunpie LED's and driving lamps from Amazon have been perfect. I've had them on since around 2017.

The reason that I rarely ride at night anymore is because I'm usually in bed by then now days.
I used to love riding on a warm night on the highway, coming into the lights of the city or town .....

Default Cheap LED lamp sets for Ultra Classic on Amazon. Any good?

I am looking to replace my stock headlamps for my 2013 Ultra Limited. I am not going to pay 800 bucks from HD to do this. I see all these no-name headlamps sets anywhere from $75 to $150 or so on Amazon. Something like the image below. Any idea how good these are and do they fit well?

Those should work fine. A lot of use went with Trucklites. They make a set specifically for your twinkie.
