I bought a Transauto LED headlight on Amazon, I've had it for 13 months / 11K miles. I went through a monsoon with it a couple months ago, which included some hail for good measure. The light was around $65 and has been flawless.

I put an Amazon light on my Sportster and while it worked decently it was a pain to install and caused the high beam indicator to come on. I went back to the OEM headlight.

It would be helpful to state the manufacturer of the lights, not just Amazon. We all realize Amazon doesn't make anything, just resells stuff. That way at least we could see which Chinese POS is better than another Chinese POS.

I looked at eye Daymakers and the Sunpies appear to be of the same level of quality.

No I love mine.
One of the better $100 purchases.

However some dumba$$ thought it was a good idea for some reason to only allow 4 hours after a post has been submitted to edit it so I can't fix the typo from "I would call them a POS" to "I wouldn't call them a POS"

this.

im currently testing a bunch of LED headlights. The sunpie and wisamic.. kinda fall into the same dayfaker pile. I will start a thread soon but for right now, its all in my build thread because, as mention above, if i need to go back and update something, i cant without asking for help from a moderator. Aint nobody got time for that.

some are here:

i can throw a sunpie in there but, it's ppointless considering they are the same black box wonders off the slow bat from china.

i'm trying to do one a day. I'm open to suggestions as well.
