Welcome to the forum. What bike do you have? Custom Dynamics make awesome lights for any bike. I have them on my Road Glide. I also have Truck Lites on my Road King. Plenty out there. I had a Halo on an older Road Glide and a Daymaker on another Road Glide. The only issue I have ever had with any light was radio interference with the Halo. Guess I have had too many Road Glides...

I have heard good things about the Sunpie LED lights on Amazon. My wife bought me a Sunpie headlight and passing light set for Christmas but I haven't had a chance to install them or try them out yet.
The best part is they are relatively cheap when compared to some of the other head lights on the market.

I’m a Custom Dynamics fan. All of my lights are their replacements

I went with their Pro-beam Headlight and passing lamps. Again a little expensive, but CD has great customer service and you pay for what you get. I highly recommend them.

Sumpie headlight and passing lamps and everything else are Custom Dynamics. I have had the Sunpies for a couple of years and they work flawlessly.

I will vouch for Custom Dynamics. I have their ProBeam headlight on my Street Glide, and their Bullet Ringz turn signals/tail/brake lights. Very bright, and high quality. I have not had to work with their customer service, but have heard that they are great to work with, if the need ever arises.

Anyone know what the shipping time is if you order from sunpie directly? Debating on going with them or with the knockoffs from Amazon, since they have high reviews.
