Default Heritage front end lighting
I'm curious to see what others have done with the front end lighting on their Heritage. The stock headlight nacelle is fine, and the aux lights are "ok" but the turn signals... Meh. The mounting hardware takes up a ton of visual space and I think it needs changed.

So I want to see what others have done with the front end lighting so I can get ideas.

I installed the french style chrome on headlight,driving lights, and turn signals... It looks much better.... I talk with the Harley shop and i might install the Deluxe style turn signals
And your right the stock turn signals are ugly

That they are. And I'm not sure it's the signals themselves so much as all the crap they're mounted to and that mounts them to the aux lights.

I dunno, I just need to see other Heritage front ends to get ideas on how to fix the look.

I cant remember where I have seen them on a heritage. I should have taken a picture but here are the lights. I want to get them in black if the headlight is availible in black.

I'm not really happy with it, but I added MoonGlowz white led turn signals. It did change the look somewhat. I'm going to try removing the entire light bar, passing lamps and all, and just go with the headlamp, and use those mirrors for turn signals, see how I like that. Not sure how that's gonna look with a windshield though...

99.9% of my riding is 2-up, so I'd have to add thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of stuff to a Deluxe... The Heritage out of the box makes a lot more sense.

I added the visor french rings along with HID bulbs to give me more light coverage than stock.
