yes, he bought a cheaper knockoff. But I really don't want to spend $400 on a headlight.

Yes. It has the standard 3-pin connector. On new Harleys, like my 17 SGS, Harley went to a dual bulb 7" OEM light, so those (8790) require an adapter that can be found almost anywhere.

Most likely he bought one of the cheap Chinese lights that use the "Daymaker" name to confuse people. I never had any problems with any of the LED lights Speaker made {(They make Harley's real "Daymaker").

I hear this all the time from people that spent $600+ on an exhaust, or on chrome, or $2K on a stage 3 or 4 upgrade.

Where can I find this magical price drop you speak of? All I can find are 8790 non-adaptive in the $450 range, and 8790 adaptive in the $650 range.

The 8790 Adaptive is $622 right now - it WAS $799. I'd call that a price drop. The 8690 Adaptive also dropped in price from what it was.
