I paid $350 for TL7 HL and Passing lights. Its the best money i've spent on my bike. Last night was my first ride with them. After making a HL adjustment I love em.

I have a Daylighter Projector from a pre-14 on my '14. I bought an adapter, and it was P&P...
No splicing.

Bunch of pictures and comments on that and other LED bulbs on this thread, DK discussion starts on page 2. Sportster thread, but applies to all models.

Yep, there sure is, but everyone is entitled to buy an $800 dollar hammer if they so choose to do so.

Myself, I run an Osram/Sylvania 80/100 watt bulb with a Kissan Path-Blazer headlight modulator.
A total of $130 bucks.
Annoying, yup but it gets me seen, from what I see.

Don't forget your rear end either.
I run a BAL for that.
It is annoying as well. lololol.

Hey Chip, thanks for responding but the Road King is different than the Ultras, harness wise.

If not wanting to spend the money for LED lighting you can replace the bulbs in the passing lamps with 37.5w #898 bulbs from your local auto parts store. They are 1100 hr. life and give you more light than TL but not as much as Daymaker rebranded Speakers. I ran these along with a E code headlamp with Osram Rally 85/80w bulb that lit up the road much better than stock but not like what I'm now running.

And another added bonus with LED is the much lower draw on the charging system. With the high powered super osrams when I hit the switch on my passing lamps the bike idle would change with the load.
