Just installed the Trucklite phase 7 on my 09. Makes a huge difference in visibility at night and looks good on the bike. I am ordering a new trim ring because it sticks out of housing a little more. $331 on eBay for headlamps and passing lamps and $35 for the trim ring. Light was plug and play and very easy to install. Saved about $500 versus the day maker set up for better lights based on several reviews with a longer warranty. 3 yrs vs 1yr for day makers.

I would take your headlight out and if you have what looks like a bowl then you need the ring the ring is completely opened up that's how you tell the difference .

I have the TL phase 7 headlight and running lamps and quite happy. This JW with the lifetime warranty is very impressive, especially Evo 2 but no mention of running lamps?

I bought one of the knockoffs with added benefit of a halo ring for $150 shipped. The issue with these lights in daytime is seeing them well from angles. The halo ring solves that nicely very pleased with mine it's bright!

I have never cut one but if you think if you could trim it and make it work I would try it if not you can buy the one in that link it's a direct fit

I've got a 15 SGS and was just shopping daymakers myself. the JW looks pretty slick for the price. Just wondering if anyone can verify what adapter ring I'd need? Also, will the HD wiring harness for the 14+ touring bikes direct plug and play to the JW?
