Default Best/Chepaest Place to Buy Headlight

I need to replace my headlight and housing on my 04' Wide Glide. Looking for aftermarket since the cost would be better. Any suggestions?

For cheap check swap meets, salvage yards, forum for sale listings, local bike shops, maybe even farm stores or auction sales. You might even find a deal on E-bay if you sort through the junk and "rare" and "collectors" items.

I was looking at J&P. Do we get any king of discount with them being a forum sponser?

Not that I've heard although sometimes they have sales.
The thing with J&P is they never sell crap & customer service is very good.

I've purchased a few things from bkrider.com recently. Good quality and good prices. Check them out.

Went ahead and ordered from J&P. Should be here Friday. Went to replace my bulb and found that the underside of the mount was cracked. I guess it happened before I bought it.
