near as i can tell the kury's phase7 is a rebranded trucklight.

so it'll be a wider beam vs the daymaker. the older daymaker (4light version) appears to be a rebranded jwspeaker 8700.


check here for a nice writeup.

here's a good video of the light pattern of the trucklight. check out at 8:30 and beyond.

here's the daymaker.

I can see you're running low on intelligence so let me post the definition of political correctness because I can assure you I've never been called PC in my life haha.

Political correctness (adjectivally, politically correct; both forms commonly abbreviated to PC) is a term that refers to language, ideas, or policies that address perceived or actual discrimination against or alienation of politically, socially or economically disadvantaged groups. The term usually implies that these social considerations are excessive or of a purely "political" nature. These groups most prominently include those defined by gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability.

So to me that is more dangerous because I believe bikes are harder to see during the day. Just my opinion
I agree. I just bought a new SGS. My 09 headlight was better IMO. My friend bought a new ultra. We were out one night last week and I was behind him and his lights looked crazy bright. Out over the weekend during the day, I'm in front of him and my other friend on his 09 roadglide. The lights on the NEW ULTRA looked very dim at best. The roadglide lights were a lot more visible. I know the roadglide has two but the new Indian with us also more visible.. To me. my 2 cents

Forget the H-D Daymaker - I installed a H-D Daymaker 5-3/4" LED unit P/N 73273-11A in May 2012. Yes, it was bright and white. But by the end of 2013, the high beam fogged the lens inside. And this was the "improved" version with seal-in gas (nitrogen I think?)

So, I got 1˝ years out of a $400 headlight. I feel like I got suckered.
