Went with daymaker reflector (which people say are the same as truck lite?) headlight and passing lamps on my 14 sgs and love them. One of my best mods so far, the led auxillary passing lamps put out an amazing amount of light on low lit back roads

PM me with your email address and I'll send you the .pdf document that a detailed comparison was done between the TL and JW. It is pretty interesting.

Lots of info on here regarding TL, Daymakers, Speakers. I like the TL better. I have run both the TL and Daymaker -- the TL is a better light pattern and throws the beam further more and is wider. Great for mountain riding in the twisties.

I went went with Headwinds LED bulb for the headlight and used H3's in the passing lights in my '03 RoadKing w/ good results. I did this late in the season and have to adjust the headlight angle etc but so far it is much better than the stock system.

I used the TL-6's for quite some time and liked them. Now using the 7's and have no complaints about their performance.

I installed the Daymaker reflector on my 14 Streetglide about a month ago and very happy with it. It took a little time and patience to get it aimed how I like it but no big deal. It really lights up the road signs for quite a ways down the road, and then when you hit high beam that really lights things up. I'm sure you'll be happy with the LED upgrade no matter which direction you take.

If you are looking into JW Speaker, don't forget to look at the new model (8700 Evolution 2). The optics have been improved. Below I attached a link that compares the two Evolution models. I just put one on mine, but unfortunately due to weather, getting photos outside won't be anytime soon. It's hard to tell in the garage, but I think I'll be very happy with it. If you go with the Truck Lite, don't forget to order an extended trim ring (~$40) as it sticks out about 1/2" further than other options.
