I called my local dealership and they basically fed me a line of BS that they would only accept a return/exchange if it was purchased from them. I'm in the process of trying to work something out with a friend of a friend who works in the parts department at the local shop...
Surdyke.com is willing to accept mine as a return, issue me a refund in the form of a gift card which I can use to buy the new one. But shipping back to them is my cost as is shipping for the new order since they're not running a free shipping offer right now...

My stock 2009, Dyna Lowrider, halogen does a better job of lighting when cornering at low speeds. It is true on the straight aways the Daymaker is closer to color correct and puts the light out there another 50 feet further than the halogen. Is there a safety recall on the obsolete 5 3/4 inch Daymaker? We deserve the improved version! Are the rest of you with me on this?

I fought with myself about making this very expense upgrade. $725.00 is the retail price now. (Last year it was $699.00)
Although I ended up loosing the fight and giving in and buying the LEDs Day Makers.
All I can say is MAN IM SO GLAD I LOST THE FIGHT'!!!!
One of the best improvements that I could of done. It did help that I got mine for only $420.00!!! (local dealer had their famous discount ride)
Well worth it to ME.
