I really just posted that link for the tech info. So many people will look at something like a light and go, "oh, that one has more lumens, it's the best!"
Some of the lights used in that showdown have new models, like the JW Speaker. I found all the info at the top before he even tested the lights interesting.

For LED brake lights and turn signals got to Custom Dynamics. I have used these on several bikes and they are great.

Thumbs up

Daymaker option you say? you can't tell the difference from HD daymaker other than the HD badge. They're for 7" headlight buckets.

I purchased the jw speaker evo 2 from Amazon last week and installed it earlier this week on my FB lo. If you have the 7" headlight it will be plug and play. Took me five minutes. Looks and works great.

Im pretty sure you wouldn't be disappointed. While they are advertised as sealed headlights, I would still advise to put a dab of clear silicone just like I always do in aftermarket headlights even in my cars. Consider it some insurance.

Get the JW Speaker Evolution 2. They make them in both a chrome version as well as a blacked out version and they just pop in your housing the same way the HD units do. You have a slim and I have a Fatboy Lo.... same exact 7" headlight buckets. I've had both the HD Daymaker and the JW Evolution 2 and the Evo 2 is a better light and you pay less money. I did a thread on here awhile back.... link below.

Anyone have experience with Eagle Lights? I see they make a 7" and a 5.75". I have a blackline so I have the 5.75 headlight, but I figured that since they make both, it's relative info for the thread.

I can't find too many reviews, most say better than stock, but no reviews have compared to J.W. or the HD daymakers.
