Default Daymaker led light

I have been looking at the Daymaker light that HD has on the market. Other than the price it does look like a good investment. I good on their web site only to find that they will only fit Ultra's from 2009 and newer. I have a 2007 Ultra Classic. I talked to the parts guy today and it looks like the only diferrence in the two light setups is the attatchment ring. But it looks like that comes with the light. Typical HD wisdom they will not tell me why it will not fit on the 2007.
1) Does anyone know if this will fit or not. If not what is different.
2) If not what would pepole suggest for a good LED headlight.
Thanks/

Are Trucklite's available only online or at stores? And are they plug in or do they need something special? And are the available in 5 1/2" size...I think that's what my Blackline takes.

Might try calling them but I have only seen 7". Their site is not very user friendly IMO.

I think it will fit, but you need that wiring harness P/N 71628-04 to hook it up.

Yeah, it's not a 7", so I guess it's the high dollar Daymaker!

There are about 40k reasons I don't like the CVO option. I'm not to impressed with 110 in the CVO.
I did spend some tec time with the guys at JW Speaker and they assured me that there was not an issue with their lights working on an 07 or 08. I then spend some more time with HD and finally walked them through the issue and was able to show them they had a bug in their system. Talked to the tec guys, not IT guys, also and they also agreed the issue was with their online software and docs and not with it working.
This is a killer finding out that all the stuff on the internet may not be true ;-((((

What are most people using in the LED world for the turn signals
Thanks to all

You can't just say "I'm not to impressed with 110 in the CVO." and not give us something to justify....

What about the 110 does not impress you?

I am very impressed with my 2013 110.
