Marketing tool = Add PRO to any product and it will increase profits by at least 200 %
Almost as bad as adding the official HD logo to anything.

Like engine parts I expect electrical parts will also be considered should you need to make a warranty claim but I don't actually know.

How much night driving do you plan on doing? Would the adaptive type be a better option if you find yourself most nights on twisty roads? Are they a gimmick? IDK.

More than likely all the Amazon knockoffs are made by the same company. I bought the $49 Sunpie, and two years later it's still working perfectly. $400 for a headlight is insane.

So I bought the $50 dollar Wisamic LED headlight on Amazon, and I am more than happy with it. Especially since it was $350.00 dollars cheaper than those "special" ones.
