Default The new halogen headlights

Has anyone used both the old model headlights and the new headlights that are now stock on the 05 harleys? Just wondering if it is worth the money to up grade since I am not overly happy with my 04 heritages headlights. Thanks for the help.

I purchased a 05 Softail Standard with the new light. (Was riding a 04 Sportster with the old light) I like it very much. It gives off a rectangular pattern on the road in front of you and is much brighter.

I "upgraded" my wife's 03 Sportster with the new light also. She loves it. She rides to work most days and it is dark when she comes home.

To each his or her own, but we both like the new headlights.

I changed out the bulb on my 04 Deuce. The new one is brighter plus it looks so much better. I bought it from Chicago harley at 20% off.
