Question LED Headlights for My Road Glide

Okay all I haven't been on the forum for quite some time now, but this is where I go to look for answers. I'm done with my HID headlights, on a recent trip they both went out "AGAIN" leaving me in the dark. I am moving on to some LED's but I prefer not to spend $600.00 on the daymakers from the stealership. Any suggestions on some GOOD aftermarket LED's for my Glide? Looking for good light at night. Thanks in advance

I'm running the same small LED in my Snorkster that you run on the Road Glide. I have the Wiipro LED. It's a Daymaker knockoff. They are on ebay and Amazon for under 70 bucks a piece. It's a darn bright little light. It's been on the bike for quite some time, not years, but enough to say it's been lasting trouble free for quite some time. I would NEVER pay the MOCO's price for a headlight. Not when it's nothing more than a rebranded part they have made for them. I can do that myself on ebay.

Don't like being stuck in the dark. But won't buy the better lights?

I see some guys using the Chicom I think. ***** knock offs of the day makers. Ebay. Good luck.

Look at the Sunpie lights on Amazon. I don't regret my purchase at all.

Don't know. I do know it's a long thread. I had Harley Day makers on my 11 RGU. And the 16 comes with them. So I had no real reason to venture in there.
