.. all the cheapo lights are cheapo dayfakers.. lol. We've tracked down most of them to the slow boat from china.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...for-250-a.html

Folks are importing them for $15-30, putting stickers on the boxes, and. Selling them for 150+. Nothing wrong with that but, the curtain is pulled back. Look in or look away... your call

When you install one of these lights do you use the stock adapter ring inside the shell, or just clamp the bezel?

It looks like the headlight is going to stick out about 1/2", is this correct?

Thanks

the lip will sit out, the ring will hold it in. Se buckets require a little more effort to get the units in. The older style lights have larger casings.
