Default Older bike (2k) options for LED lights??

My 2000 Heritage has the sealed beam type lights. Anyone recommend a company who offers upgraded lighting? Looking to be seen better in daytime. Most of what I see is drop in bulbs for the newer rides.

If you are looking for turn signals and fender tips, custom dynamics

If you are looking for headlights and passing lamps, Truck Lite and JW Speaker are the two top brands.

I went with Truck Lite because JW Speaker is very expensive.

I went with custom dynamics for my turn signals, fender tips, and brake light.

Very satisfied with this setup.

Truck Light goes dark from an angle in the daylight. I'd gotten flashed by other bikes in the other direction that my light was off.

I've noticed this as well with other bikes equipped with projector beam LEDs. Sitting across an intersection from them, I can't tell if their lights are on in the daytime. If daytime visibility is important, you need to consider this carefully.

Why I posted what I did.

I have an '01, close to the same color as yours. I went with these sunpie lights from amazon.com.
Amazon Amazon

And picked up these from dynamic.

The visibility is greatly improved. Tons of light from the front of the bike.
I've had them on for a year now, and they all still work perfectly. I also wired up the passing lamps to stay on with the high beams, fairly easy.
