Default LED Headlight Conversion

Has anyone done the LED headlight conversion on their Sporty? I have a Nightster and want to do something cause the stock Halogens suck bad!!!!!

I forget who, but somebody did it on here. I would try upgrading bulbs. The LED headlight is not asthetically pleasing, IMO.

someone told me that the LED thing required some electronics work (voltage or something) or is it not applicable with Harley parts? I'd like to go LED's at some point but I'm electrically impaired. Can it be changed out a bit at a time?

LED's take alot less power to run so I don't see why you would need to do anything to run them. The HD kit is plug and play. From the pix I have seen they look killer when on at night-looks like HID's, but I don't like the ricer look they have when off.

Check out the Kuryakyn LED light. It doesn't look as partitioned as the HD one.
