I put Daymakers on my 2013 Heritage, headlight and passing lamps..they were awesome at night but yeah, mucho $$$$..decided not to spring for them on the last 2 bikes b because of that and I don't ride at night much which is where they really shine (pun intended)..turn sigs might be worth it for some though...my wife took a rock to the headlight on her Sturgis trip this year and had to replace her OEM which was pretty cheap...would hate to have that happen to a $500 Daymaker headlamp
I put over a million miles (18 years) on the same LED tail lights. Haven't personally met anyone dumb enough (my opinion) to spend $500 on 1 headlight yet but for less then $80 a sunpie is well money spent. I even went all LED in the new house we built and give a lot of credit to them on my $100 electric bill (average) a month on a all electric house. I'm just getting ready to buy turns for my 19 SGS and already have the sunpie. YMMV
Another benefit of the LED turn signals: they can be brighter than incandescent, and respond quicker. Plus there is the option of the "switchback" function of signal lights like the Custom Dynamics ProBeam signal inserts: they're a white LED running light and switch to amber for turns- and the white running light will add some additional side lighting for you.
And yes: it is kind of stupid that most of the lights on a new Ultra Limited are LED, but the turn signals and rear stop lamp are incandescent. Come on Harley...

Just put this headlight on my sons bike, both pics on high beam, the difference speaks for itself. The first thing I do to all my bikes is change everything over to LED, anything that will make me more visible is money well spent! My 2019 cvo sg came with led signals but I still switched the fronts to custom dynamics because they are way brighter. Custom dynamics just came out with a cvo rear panel that replaces the rear oem led panel, I'm gonna grab them next, they look crazy bright!
