Default Roadglide headlights

So, have they fixed the vision issue for cornering at night with the RG LED headlights? I'm just curious if the 17s are any better,,,, or if you still need or would want aux lights on the front....

What is the issues? I adjusted the head lights up just a little and that's about it.
I have been looking into getting some running lights, just have not found any that I like.
For what I have seen, I'll just save my money for lowers.

No issues with my 11. And no issues with my 16. The 17 is the same as the 16.

I rode my new 17 home Friday the last hour or so after dark and saw no issues with what the headlights illuminated. The last 20 miles was on twisty country roads where there are no streetlights etc... so it is dark as hell through deer country where I need as much light on the road and sides as possible. I felt my vision was due to the lights was great

What problems you talking bout Willis? Lol

My Original Daymakers and CD Ringz are much brighter then the new Prerushedmore!

My bro with the 2015 Black RGS feels the same way.

There is no issue nothing to fix. More internet hype . And of course some after market folks looking to push a fix for a non issue.
Yes I have a lot of miles on RG and a lot of night riding. I'll take the RG over anything you got.
Those are not AUX lights they are turn signals. How does that turning right so you can see around the curve work for you ?

I think my 10 RG lit up the tight corners a little better than my 17.

Still looking for something that looks good and doesn't cost 600 dollars. The RG fairing mounted driving lights are not it... ugly.
And if I wanted bullet lights down on the engine guard or forks I would just buy some **** from autozone. No way I'd pay what HD is asking for them.

I adjusted mine up YB and made a huge difference. At night they were not out in front as far as my 11 Dayymakers. Quick adjustment and good to go. I think they're low from the factory. I had the same set up on my 11 as your CVO. I have the CD rings on my 16. Cornering on my Road Glides never a problem like on my SG when I'd counter steer and push my headlight in the oposite direction I was leaning.

This looks like a troll post anyhow.

I've never had an issue with riding at night...my rg so bright everyone flashes me thinking i have the high beams on...i also run custom dynamic turn signals which definitely makes it seem brighter
