Default daymaker knock offs

anyone have any experience with the "non HD" daymakers all over the net? Lets face it, majority of HD parts are outsourced anyway and I have no problem buying parts that don't have an HD stamped on them.


I need to change my headlamp, and have been doing some research. the truck lite's put out great light, but the daymaker's projector focuses that light further down range.


Thanks

I have the Truck lite phase 7 lights and like them a lot. Just put a headwinds "bulb" in the GFs Heritage and that seems good too (haven''t actually tried it at night myself). Both are quite a bit cheaper options than the Daymaker.

A lot of people here use the Truck life without any issue.

I just ordered the HD Daymaker Reflector headlight and passing lamps from Kutter HD. They're still not cheap, but cheaper than anywhere else.

Default Daymaker

Black Daymaker projector 14SGS , side by side with buddy's 13glide with truck lite, wish I took pics. The Daymaker hands down winner. Yes beams are different, have to get used to projector focused light,truck lite more like flood light. Check out JW Speaker 8700 2nd generation,improved version of Daymaker.
