Default headlight, mines ugly

I have never liked the headlight on my 07 FXST. just doesnt fit the bike. I like the size but not the shape. I have looked at several bullet style headlights. I have not pulled the trigger because of wiring and price. But I just saw this inJP Cycle and it called to me. Right shape, priceand plug and play. Anyone know anything about their quality? Also is the one Harley sells a Plug and Play or do you have to cut wires? Thank you.

It does look a little better. My XL1200 had a nicer looking headlight then my FXST does. I considered it but still doesnt give me enough of what Im looking for. Thanks for the pic bike looks very nice.

I like the looks of it, but she's a spendy one, at $200 bucks. I guess they figure they'll get you for the labor too since there is basically none, huh?

I like the look of the trim ring and the price can't be beat.

I completely agree.....$30.00 for a new trim ring is hard to beat. AND it improves the look 100%.

I agree the bezel helps a lot. Still not enough for me. I just really like the plug and play concept as well as the breaded wiring covers. Looks nice. Price is really not bad when you compare it to others out there. It comes wired, with H4 bulb, lense and housing. Complete kit. Guess I like the easy way and plug and play is that.
