I have LED's in all turn signals and the tail light. My next purchase will be Custom Dynamics LED headlight and auxilliary lights. If they are anything like their other LED's you can't go wrong. They are cheaper than HD.

As far as no lights in the corner, sure the light is compromised. But I see just fine since I can't drive into a corner at 90 mph. The bike scrapes sooner than I run out of light.
Jake, the TruckLite will be my next option when my HID fails. I notice you have the HD Chrome Headlight Ring on your bike, the same as mine. Is that any issue with the TruckLite? I don't want to loose that if I don't have too.

You are right Don the Man,

On this topic you are clueless...at least 3 times the output of my stock setup.....miss seeing a deer at night and your medical will far exceed the cost of the light

But, you will never hear someone that just bought LED's say they suck. It's just human nature to say "Wow" look at how bright my new (I just paid way too much) my fancy LED's are".

If you have the deep trim ring you'll be all set. If you have the flush ring, it'll work but IMO look like *** (check out my pic). As the TL7 sticks out from the ring 1/2-3/4 of an inch. So you might want to get the deep "french" ring. I have one on order.

No issue with the Ring at all. The Trucklite does extend out about 1/4 -1/2 inch more than the HID, but it is barely noticeable with that ring.
