I'm cleaning up my road king front end and looking to hide the turn signals or at least find something that gives a cleaner look. The headlight with built in led turn signals look interesting, but I have not read any reviews. Anybody have them or know much about them?

Thanks

Whoa...I've never heard of this...turn signals in the headlight??? I'd love to see a picture of this. Seriously.

 

Do you have a link to this turn signal headlight?

 

Something like this might help, not in the headlight though.



Something like this from Pro One:

 

Here's one, but there are several at all different prices.

Wow. That's a first for me. I just wonder how noticeable they are with the headlight on?

 

For me at least;
The goal of adding an upgraded headlight and LED turn signals is increased visibility.
I want the inattentive cagers to have every opportunity to really see me.
(I know this is a stretch for most cagers,, they have to actually look up from their phone)
But putting LED turns beside a bright headlight they already don't want to look at doesn't make sense, they're supposed to look through the glare of a headlight to see the turn signal?

 

Why not LED bar end turn signals? They are bright, and right out on the side of the bike, so they are very clear for cagers to see.

 

I have (had) one of those on the shovel I am building. It sucked - although the one I had wasn't LED. The signals are too close together so it's confusing to other road users, plus it was really dim. LED would be better, but I ditched it and went with bar end LED turn signals from Motogadget which are really bright - and as far to each side of the bike as its possible to get. No confusion....

 

I would agree and this headlight/turn signal combination light is illegal according to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108.
Spacing of headlights and turn signals mentioned in this section.

S7 Signal lamp requirements.
S7.1 Turn signal lamps.
S7.1.1 Front turn signal lamps.
S7.1.1.1 Number. See Tables I-a and I-c.
S7.1.1.2 Color of light. See Tables I-a and I-c.
S7.1.1.3 Mounting location. See Tables I-a and I-c.
S7.1.1.4 Mounting height. See Tables I-a and I-c.
S7.1.1.5 Activation. See Tables I-a and I-c.
S7.1.1.6 Effective projected luminous lens area. See Table IV-a.
S7.1.1.7 Visibility. See S6.4.
S7.1.1.8 Indicator. See S9.3.
S7.1.1.9 Markings. See S6.5.1.2.
S7.1.1.10 Spacing to other lamps.
S7.1.1.10.1 Each front turn signal lamp must also be designed to comply with any additional photometry requirements based on its installed spacing to other lamps as specified by this section. Where more than one spacing relationship exists for a turn signal lamp the requirement must be the one that specifies the highest luminous intensity multiplier of Tables VI-a and VI-b.
S7.1.1.10.2 Spacing measurement for non-reflector lamps. For any front turn signal lamp that does not employ a reflector to meet photometric requirements, the spacing must be measured from the light source of the turn signal lamp to the lighted edge of any lower beam headlamp, or any lamp such as an auxiliary lower beam headlamp or fog lamp used to supplement the lower beam headlamp.
S7.1.1.10.3 Spacing measurement for lamps with reflectors. For any front turn signal lamp which employs a reflector, such as a parabolic reflector, to meet photometric requirements, the spacing must be measured from the geometric centroid of the turn signal lamp effective projected luminous lens area to the lighted edge of any lower beam headlamp, or any lamp such as an auxiliary lower beam headlamp or fog lamp used to supplement the lower beam headlamp.
S7.1.1.10.4 Spacing based photometric multipliers.
(a) where the spacing measurement of S7.1.1.10.2 or S7.1.1.10.3 between a turn signal lamp and the lighted edge of any lower beam headlamp is less than 100 mm the photometric multiplier must be 2.5.
(b) where the spacing measurement of S7.1.1.10.2 or S7.1.1.10.3 between a turn signal lamp and the lighted edge of any lamp such as an auxiliary lower beam headlamp or fog lamp used to supplement the lower beam headlamp is at least 75 mm but less than 100 mm the photometric multiplier of Table VI must be 1.5.
(c) where the spacing measurement of S7.1.1.10.2 or S7.1.1.10.3 between a turn signal lamp and the lighted edge of any lamp such as an auxiliary lower beam headlamp or fog lamp used to supplement the lower beam headlamp is at least 60 mm but less than 75 mm the photometric multiplier must be 2.0.
(d) where the spacing measurement of S7.1.1.10.2 or S7.1.1.10.3 between a turn signal lamp and the lighted edge of any lamp such as an auxiliary lower beam headlamp or fog lamp used to supplement the lower beam headlamp is less than 60 mm the photometric multiplier must be 2.5.
