Default Daymaker Headlight

Been thinking about a Daymaker headlight for my 2013 Sportster. I normally don't ride at night so I would probably get the projector rather than the reflective based on what I've read. But the HD version is hard to find. No dealers anywhere near me have them in stock and even the HD website says currently not available. Makes me wonder if the demand is no longer there due to aftermarket alternatives.

Many items dealers do not stock. My dealer is the same but when I contact them on a Tuesday they can usually have the item by Thursday.

You can have it in black - https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...mp/p/67700145A

One thing you will notice not on 3rd party lamps is the bar and shield led lower middle. For HDI models that takes separate power from position lamp supply and can be switched on as a what we call a parking light.

Me too, although I don't have quite as many miles on my bike. The unit is DOT approved as well.

The 5 3/4 LED headlight from TC Bro’s is plug and play, brighter and better than a day maker and is $79 bucks. I had one on my Iron 1200 and loved it.

I bought 2 of these in 2018 off ebay, 1 new and 1 used. They work great and are substantially better than stock.. At the time they were $35.50 new. I bought 1 used for $13.50. 1 for my 2006 1200C and 1 for my 2012 48. Have recently sold the 48.
