Default HID head lights for RoadGlide

I found these two types of HID's. Not sure if one would be better or worse for my "13 RGC. Anyone have any opinions on them, or any other set-ups that you have used? Thanks! http://www.xenonhids.com/hid-kits/?f...e-custom-44845

I bought this light
http://www.headwinds.com/mm5/merchan...Category_Code=
Bought above light from Drew @ http://www.hogpro.com/
They are one of the sponsors of this site and very nice people to deal with. Ordering,Shipping,arrival...all good no problems.


These for the passing lights. They are out of these now until the first of April. These light and headlight are seriously bright. Just a thought over HID.

Thanks for the options. Griffin....the link you have there is not the light they say is for a RG. the one they call out for a RG has the cooling ribbons on it. Will either work?

I really want the Daymaker, but I cant handle the price tag. I've been looking at the Headwinds though. It might be time to pull the trigger...

most of the stuff you see on ebay isn't DOT, FCC, CE or anything certified.

some of the stuff may interfere with the radio or the bike electronics.

so buyer beware

I've had HID's on my last 3 bikes. I have had problems off and on with them not coming on (even with the inline capacitors). After my last one quit working a few weeks ago, I changed to H4 LED headlight bulbs.

They're every bit as bright as the HID's and they're plug and play. We'll see how long these last.

In the Streetglide there is a lot of room behind the Headlight bucket. Not sure on the RG. The only difference between the two is the ribbons. This way the ribbons can be tucked away or moved out of the way to fit. But work fine as well.

They're bright.
No yellow to these lights at all. Just pure white light. Very nice illumination at night and daytime.
