fbhawg, I see your talking about the dual bulb halogen headlamp kit. Are you saying I could upgrade from the bulbs that come with this kit? If so, what bulbs would I need? Catalog says low beam is 55w and high beam is only 35w.Thanks.

 

I remember hearing that early 03 models had sealed beam headlights.

 

the 55w low stays on when the high beam bulb is switched on, having both lit together.

 

My 03was a sealed beam, did they switch later in the year? FLSTF, I knew somebody would ask that and I can't for the life of me remember. I'll look either tonight or tomorrow after work. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. It's a cheap upgrade and man does it make a difference. There's no way I can run highs all the time like I did before. I've been flashed on a split highway!

 

I think in 03 all softails came with a H4 Bulb and housing except for the Fatboy which had a sealed beam. I am guessing Harley had to get rid of their backstock so switched on all of the other models and kept the sealed beam on their top seller.

I wish I saw the headlight Anubiss is talking about it is cheaper than the one I bought. Also check the delta headlight JCWhitney has listed in the Motorcycle headlights listing.

The change out is definitely worth it.

 

I ordered the $18 job from JC Whitney. It has to be brighter than the dim unit that is in there now. If not I'll get the HD dual (Ithink it looks greatandyearn to own one, but the cheap voice inside my head says no.)

 

At one point, someone made a Quartz Automotive style seal beam. It was 7", flat and brighter than a White Dwarf Star. Cost about 50 bucks. It's on my list.

Nice Saddlebags BTW. Very clean. No hoo ha!! Fringe, chrome buttons etc.

 

Does the new bulb have a 3 prong plug or do you need to change that also? Looks like a great investment. Thanks. Kent

 

Checked the order status on JC Whitney headlight kit. "No longer available" Called and confirmed that they do not, will not have it
H4 HALOGEN HEADLIGHT 7" ROUND[/align][/align][/align]

 

FLSTF, sorry for the delay. The Eagles Club got between work and home last night. I went up to an H9, 65 watt and a H11,55 watt on the low beam. The H11 says H11 LL, not sure what the LL means. It's probably not as bright as some of the light bars with HID lighting but it's light years ahead of any sealed beam I've seen. The light that comes on these things is just plain dangerous. I did the Silverstar and some other kind someone suggested and it was a waste of money. For $120-$130, or about $60 on E-Bay its great. Harley has a HID for about$500 bucks also but I'm not in the income class to afford that.I can't believe JC Whitney has anything for $16 that can be worth anything. Good Luck
