Default Has anyone tried the Halogen headlight from Harley Genuine Parts?

Interested to see if anyone has tried the following part from Harley on their Rocker, does it make a big difference?:



Halogen Headlamp - Clear Smooth Lens with Reflector Optics

If I'm right you should already have that light on your bike. It is stock from '05

I have tried all the H-4 bulbs out there (none seem that much of a drastic increase), In my Deluxe's reflector housing, and it is similar to the lamp housing you are showing. There is a true HID insert bulb offered by V-Twin MFG that I want to try. Part # 33-0986. This is an entire kit for $256.00 . It seems high but I wonder what difference it would make in my bike? Check it out on page 1053 of the PFD format catalog at http://www.vtwinmfg.com

I second that. My 05 Deuce and 09 Heritage has it. Don't see a big difference.
