I'm just curious of what you thought about it and if it made that much of a difference.

It's darned expensive! I've seen reviews of it in the Touring forum (those guys have money to burn!), so worth taking a look in there, if you can get through the door......

It's SO badass......but it is also VERY expensive. I don't take long freeway rides very often or do windy roads at night so I ended up getting Sylvania bulbs. It's about $35 for 1 H4 bulb. BIG difference from stock. But hey if you have the dough for the LED I say go for it.

I have it on my XL and its awesome. Decided when I was having my bike painted I would get the HID and do LED everywhere else. Increases of my chances of being seen is worth the $$$. Unfortunately I can't find any of my pictures... If no one posts up I will take some once I get home this evening.

I was going to get a Sylvania bulb as well. What model do our sportsters take?

LED Headlights are outstanding IMO. I put the Truck-Lite 7" Phase-7 in my Springer last Spring and love it. I hated the stock Sporty Headlight, it's just so inadequate, especially compared to LED. So I ended up installing a 7" Black bucket on my Sporty just to accommodate the 7" LED Truck-Lite. Headlight was $200 and Bucket was like $85.00. Well worth it to me being that I do a lot of night riding.

Here is the Harley 5 3/4 headlight.



I'll get some better pictures once my rear tire gets replaced tomorrow (damn nail in new tire).

I love it! I got it from a member for a great price! on Night rides oh I tell you it is 100x times better than stock! when i first put it in i didnt adjust the height so it wasnt that great for me but once i loosened the bolt put it up a little it is perfect. and i get so many compliments..
