I decided to try the 4.5 Sunpie AUX lamps. I figured for $60 bucks why not. The finish is fine and the they fit right in. Also they came with all the connectors so very easy to install.

However the plastic lenses will probably scratch pretty easily. And more importantly my 4.5" Truck Light AUX lamps seem to be brighter.

Default HD Daymaker

I've had 3 lights on the SG...stock, DDM Tuning Hi/Lo 6000K HID bulb with ballast, and now the Daymaker. The HID is super bright, but I wanted to change the look of the front end. Other wise I would keep it...here is a pic.

The Daymaker is buy far is the best bag for your buck...I waited for a 20% sale at the dealer before purchasing. It is expensive, but I don't have worry whether or not it will work and Dam it looks good! Get the Daymaker, you will not be disappointed.

The JW Speaker light is far from a "knock off". These are American made, and top quality. Hell the knock-offs are trying to replicate the JW lights. I run JW evo 2 in my '15 wrangler. Great lights. Honestly I would imagine the Harley Daymaker is the same light, but branded with HD. Jeep was talking about going the same route, and branding the JW lights for stock vehicles.

Mine are knock offs from Octane lighting. Saved a couple hundred bucks by going aftermarket. Fit was perfect. Actually got a chance to ride at night with them since I put them on late last fall. They light up the road like Fenway Park. My buddies wanted me to take the lead were ever we went. They said it was easier for them since I lit up the road nicely for them. Headlight and passing lamps were around $400.00 Great investment as far as I'm concerned. OH that the new compensator and Barnett Clutch I just had done are pretty good investments as well.
