Got one from Amazon and put it in my Breakout a couple of months ago. Glad I did, lights up the night.

Got one for my wife's 48, it was a different name though. Great bang for the buck headlight. I just wish someone would make a cheaper one for the Rushmore road glide! Lol $900 no thanks!

I put one in my 98 fxstc. It woks great. Athough adjusting the light via the adjuster screws doesn't really seem to do a whole lot. I had better results moving the entire headlight up or down.

Old thread I know but thanks for this. I was originally going to get a Custom Dynamics, then a Hogworkz, then I saw a bunch of posts here for Sunpie and Wisamic. Upon seeing your post and comparing the various knock-offs I went with the Liteway because it has slightly higher lumens in both low and high beam plus it is IP68 where there Wisamic is only IP65. I wonder if the IP65 rating is why some seem to have fogging issues with the Wisamic.

Update: I ordered the Liteway two Sunday's ago and it came the next day, I was pleasantly surprised. Installation took less than 10 minutes and the light works as advertised. I have not had a chance to use it at night yet due to crappy weather and some other evening commitments but testing it in my garage at night I can say it's definitely brighter than the OEM and I like the whiter color.

Just don't have the brain lapse I had when installing:
  1. flip on the ignition to verify current light is working properly, Check.
  2. remove OEM light and plug in new Liteway, flip on the ignition and test before putting it back together, light works on high and low beam as expected.
  3. Put the light in its bucket and put the trim ring back on, flip the ignition and the light no longer works, WTF I just tested it.
  4. Disassemble, plug OEM back in and flip the ignition and crap, the OEM doesn't work now either and now notice front turn signals don't work either.
  5. Check fuses, all looks good, WTF is going on.
It took a little while but I finally realized that I was flipping the **** to accessory when I was in front of the bike instead of ignition. I blame it on looking at it upside down from the front of the bike as opposed to sitting on the seat. Mock away.

Okay, mocking done. I have done similar things before when working on something. I had changed the battery on my wife's old Sporty and when I put everything back together I had forgotten to reconnect the ground. I went nuts checking fuses and making sure that i had the switch on and all of that. My wife asked did you connect the battery ( she knows I am cautious with electrical). My reply was of course I did, but here let me pull the cover and show you. For the next three hours on a ride I heard her mocking me to all of my riding friends. She is an evil one, but we all had a great laugh about it.
