I have heard of the Moonmc led bulb and checked out some you tube vids on it and it looks to work pretty good. I will check out the Daymaker as well.

do not buy a daymaker. overpriced and a waste. if you are swinging in that range. go directly to the source, J.W. Speaker. they make the antiquated daymaker for hd.

399.99 for old tech daymaker

I'm using an LED bulb, inexpensive and VERY effective-

That's the same bulb I use. Same box and everything but got mine on Amazon for $19.90


Great bulb but I'm just using it til I get my JW Speaker Adaptive Headlight! It still cause the random Red Light on the speedo you will hear about but seems to happen less and less as times goes on.
