An option for a lot less money is to buy the super bright LED replacement lamp from Fuel Moto. Have had them in both of our bikes for a year now with no issues. WAY brighter than stock. I came up with a tip for centering the lamp if you are interested.

I replaced the stock headlight on my 2015 Fat Boy with the HD stock Daymaker, and I have never regretted it. The difference is very dramatic. There may be cheaper aftermarket LED alternatives, but I can sure recommend the Daymaker.

In my rocker I use a chinese daymaker from Aliexpress/ebay, 42€ with shipping cost include.
The headlamp work perfectly!!! With a lot of light and great quality of construction, sorry, but I dont spend 450$ for the same product in the HD shop.

(there are a lot of versions of chinese daymaker, but the chineses daymaker I bought,its a great product).

If you dazzling with the lamp headling, you will dazzling with the new led lamp.

I dont worry for the ece/tuv in the headlight for street legal, all people use in bikes aftermarket loud exhaust, and also are not for street legal.

Since you don't seem to have understood, let me explain it for you... That cheap Chinese crap you bought probably put ZERO $$ into their optics compared to the Company that makes the Daymaker. So their cutoff pattern may not be very sharp, and may be pushing light into oncoming traffic's eyes no matter how you level the light. Optics are why good lights cost more. It's why people pay more for good Hella or Cibié replacements.

You're in the wrong Country to be telling me what's legal where I live.

Nothing more entertaining than people trying to defend their expensive and overpriced Chinese built products by belittling someone else's cheaper Chinese built products.

Even worse is someone who doesn't know WTF they're talking about making a stupid comment. My headlight is MADE IN USA.
