Best for what?! There are plenty of options available and each has their champions in here. I'm happy with my Trucklites - all three of 'em.

truck lite as well.....headlight and both highway lights....also added the HD fog lights to the crash bars and I have to say there is no denying that the road is so much more visible.

headlight opinions are like butthole opinions everybody has one


mine is the trucklite 27270C..


ALSO and I wish there was a way to sticky this but get informed on aftermarket
before making a purchase.. everybody that buys cheap says OHHHHH look how bright
it is while supplying a photo of their bike looking straight at it..


WELL YEAH!! every freaking headlight looks bright when you start straight in to it but being bright when looking in to it DOESNT make it project properly 75 feet in front of the bike.. the difference between claimed lumens and lux are HUGE!!


watch this video for what I am talking about

OP; a little more information would aid in responding too...especially what you're willing to spend.

Another vote for Truck Lite. Many of the cheaper ones may interfere with radio reception. Truck Lite on my Road King, no tunes of course but have what is called a Halo on my Road Glide and going from accessory to run I get interference, confirming my issue, I think... At that, the Halo was not that cheap. Mighty bright and unique but has me mostly listening to my iPod.

Coolridehd---Go to (www.jwspecker.com/adaptiveheadlight) this is the best LED headlight period.
It is not cheep, but it will light up the dead spots on the side of the road that the others do not hit.

That being said, a Sunpie LED headlight is a good low cost alternative, from Amazon, that all I have to say.
