Thanks!
From what has been posted and what I have read, the harness is not required for the Fat boy lo or any of the softails that have an H4 pigtail to H4 stock bulb.

On my rocker I got a fat bob headlight with two Daymaker passing lamps from HD that I rigged up. Hopefully JW will make a dual headlight set up that will work for fat bob headlights. I might consider that if it's cheaper than what HD wants for a fat Bob dual daymaker headlight ($800) cause I don't have a high beam function right now.

Anyway, my wife's sportster could use one of these LED headlights as long as it's not the ridiculous prices that HD wants.

Here's the deal... We need to get over it.

LED lighting is advancing at the same pace that home computers were in the 90's. Whether it's the JW-S or the HD version, a year or two from now, there will be a new release that is twice as good as your current one.

Not kidding. A few years from now, One 7" light will do what a current 7" Daymaker AND the Daymaker passing lamps do combined. Crazy advances are being made. The 5" version will be amazing by then too.

Five years +/- from now, these things will be standard equipment on most new bikes. People will look at us and say "You paid WHAT for that thing back in the day"...
