Default Need your opinions please

I have two aftermarket headlamps. Both are 7 inch lights. The first is the same shape as my Headwinds passing lamps and turn signals and has visor integrated into the one piece housing. The only problem is that it's shape results in it sticking out significantly further than any other light.

The other light has more of a cone shape than the stock but less than my other aftermarket. Therefore, it doesn't match the shape of my other lights as well. However, front to rear it's a perfect size. It also has a blue dot tri-bar lens. I'm not overly fond of this so it's not really even a consideration, pro or con.

Pics don't really show the size difference very well because of distance but the first one is about 4 inches further forward than the other...quite a bit. Just can't get over how perfect the shape is of the first.

Please, let me know what you guys this is more aesthetically appealing. Thanks!!

The 2nd. I put my hand so you can see the difference in lamp shapes.

I like the look of the longer one a bit better. It will make the entire bike take on the long stretched out look.

Never been a big fan of the visor shape, but the first one matches the shape of your other lights better. The second one looks kinda dumpy by comparison. My opinion only, copyright 2008 TreyHogger.inc

Matt, #1 looks more like the lines of your bike, low & long . That would be my choice.

I like the first one better, of course I'm biased because it looks a lot like mine except for visor effect.
