Default Led (daymaker) type light upgrades

Looking at a couple of makes on amazon
Truckmall is one and XPCTD is another

doesnt look as if they are at all different (made in the same chinese factory ?)

Not sure if there are any others worth looking at.
So folks have any experience of either? Or are there better ones out there ?

many thanks for any advice

I bought a Hogworkz Halomaker. Nice looking light and great low beam. But to me the high beam seems scattered and not that intense. I don't do a lot of night riding so I live with it.

My Indy installed Rivco bulbs, the passing lamps are nice, the headlight isn't bad but the high beam sucks, it's like @2goldens said, it just scatters all over the place. I like the LED brightness, but really despise the full led look. I do ride in the dark on my way to work and would like more light. maybe someday. But the Eagle LED's are nice, guy I work with has one, it throws some light for sure.

I've been using Sunpies for 5 years and never had any problem.

This eagle lights are identical
to the truckmall etc.
I assume they are all made in China then branded by importer.

That TruckMall light is similar, but I wouldn't say the same.

I think I may go with the HogWerkz LED kit trying to decide if the Halo is useful or just a added cost?
