Get the daymaker adaptive LED.. It adjusts the beam as you lean. https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...mp/p/67700427A

My 2019 FLHTP came with the Harley Daymaker LED headlight.


I found the Harley Daymaker LED headlight left dark spots when on high beam. And low beam was too low.

I bought the Custom Dynamics Adaptive 2 headlight and find that is doesn't have the dark spots. I like the adaptive aspects, and find them better when I am not running the LED sport lights.

I'm glad I purchased the Custom Dynamics Adaptive 2 headlight.

I do a lot of weekend trips to western NC, TN and WV. I frequently leave after work on Thursday or Friday and ride from Raleigh NC area for 5-6 hours.

The Harley adaptive headlight doesn't have the same warranty as the Custom Dynamics Adaptive does.

Custom Dynamics is cheaper and has much a better warranty.

Before you spend 600 bucks on a new headlight, go make sure yours is aimed properly. Also, the high beam helps alot, when there's no oncoming traffic of course.
