Headlight Opinions
Has anyone installed a Vision X or Phase 7 in their Batwing fairing? I do like the HD Daymaker, but I don't like the price! I know the Vision X is $419, but It's a lot less than HD's. I am really wondering about the light pattern the Vision X has. I've seen the Phase 7, and like it. I am just wondering if anyone here has used the Vision X and prefers it over the Phase 7.
Or, if there's something even better, I'm all ears. or should I say,... eyes.

If you mean the Truklite Phase 7 I run one and like it a lot. Headlight and both spots for $338 to my door. The headlight projects out from the bucket and requires a frenched or visor style trim ring (as in my sig pic) or it looks goofy. It's very bright.

I don't think there's a whole lot of difference regardless of brand. Both options you presented are dramatically brighter than the stock bulbs. I run both a drop in LED OPT7 as well as a daymaker Chinese knockoff. I have compared both of them to just about every other LED option. Usually side by side. Given what I have learned and seen, either buy the genuine Moco, or truck lite, or just grab a knockoff for under 100 bucks. Cause for what Vision X wants, I would pass and look at other options.

Yes. A blinding glaring light always helps people judge distance and speed. But since you live in South Dakota, only 15 people are affected.
