I rode it last night, the light is as bright as before, focus doesn't change at all. I installed a Silverstar light bulb last year, much brighter than stock, give it a thumb-up.

I can't believe the aux light kit doesn't come with the lights, you got to be kidding, it sounds crazy to me. All you need to add is your choice of bulb type, and you'll light up the open road. (Bulbs sold separately.) The kit costs $310cad, turn signal relocation kit $140cad, pair of lights another $95cad, go figure.

One thing no one mentioned, they actually do add some light... lol I plan on changing the bulbs from 35w to 50w halogen. Need to see those deer sooner...

They look great! I recently added a set of visored rings to my deluxe, they should have been there when it was new... Definately adds to the look and I havent noticed anything with the lighting. I got mine in a set from HD marked down 60%, I just had to add the Aux light rings and it was complete out the door for just under $100...

It looks allot better than stock. I opted for the "visor" style to match my signals.

do you need the relocation kit? when i added my passing lamp kit to my night train it came with new turn signal housings. should just have to re-route the wires from the bars to the side. someone correct me if i'm wrong here.
