Default LED for Heritage Softail Recommendation

I am in search of a set of LED lights for my 2012 Heritage softail. I am looking for recommendations. I am looking to brighten up the road. There seems to be many out there for sale. I know the key if the right one's....there is a lot of inferior light set for sale. Thank you in advance.

I'm following this, because my recently acquired 03 Heritage has LED Headlights and Driving Lights, and they are great in town, but the High Beams are almost non existent and useless on the dark country roads I spend most of my time on. I am unsure of the manufacturer of mine, but will be pulling them soon to see, so I can contact them to see if there is anyway I can get more reach out of them...

This Pic was taken in Pinson Tennessee, on Hwy 45 at the Artesian Well next to the Rail Road Tracks...

I currently run just bulbs in my Heritage and they’re bright enough for me. I did run the Eagle Light 5 3/4 in my Dyna and loved it. I thought about running them now but I’m sold on the classics look.

Thank you 04FXDI, I have used Eagle lights in the past and liked them. I need to take the bike out on a very very dark county road and see how stock lights due. I had a 92' and 01' the lights were not very bright. Thank you

I bought the Sunpie kit (headlight, two passing lamps) for around $100 on Amazon. Fits my 2016 Heritage, not sure of your 2012. But if they do have fitment, I'd recommend them. I've been completely happy with them for over two years now.

Another option is fork mounted driving lights, the adventurer bikes run them a lot. Denali makes some great options.

I was at the stealer a few years back and noticed some LED bulbs they had for sale sitting next to the register. I bought one that plugged right in to the existing socket of my '05 Deluxe. The first night ride was going home from a bbq at a friend's place and I remember saying something to the effect of "Holy $hit!" That bulb lit up everything far and wide. I'm thinking it's a Pathfinder bulb, but it's been a while...

This is what I have for my 06 Heritage. For the price I paid, I’m a happy camper.
