Just thought I'd chime in. I have the HD daymaker on my 14 SGS,less than $400 with my discount and Harley bucks. Once I got it aimed right it was easily twice the light than stock. My son has the Hogworks halo on his 16 SGS. At night side by side the Hogworks is the equal if not better than my daymaker and it seems to have better side lighting as well as looking great. I don't know the lumens this is just a real world comparison.

Thanks for chiming in on the comparison... It seems upgrading the headlight, with any other, is an improvement. In the past I hadn't ridden much in the dark, but a few years ago I was riding late and couldn't see very good. I didn't realize how bad the stock lamp was.
Sorry to revive this older post, but, I just switched from a HD Daymaker (projector) to a Hogworkz Halomaker. I bought the Hogworks because my Daymaker was hazy, and started to fan the light out. I was getting highbeamed constantly, and Harley wouldnt warranty the light. The first thing I noticed, was that the Halomaker is of superb quality. And, with the included adaptor, plugged directly into my existing plug. No splicing, the halo works with both high and low beams. I also noticed that the color output, is nearly identical to my CD Dynamic Rings, turn signals. The Daymaker was yellow, when compared. I also noticed that both lights stay on, when on high beams. Definitely much brighter than the Daymaker high beam, which only uses the high beam. (The low beam turns off) The low beam is brighter on the Hogworkz, but it also projects the light into a wider, more usable pattern. Definitely a better light, and a less expensive light.

I did a side-by side comparison today, between H-D’s Daymaker and my new Hogworkz Halomaker. Both bikes were running, shots are without filter. Hogworkz on the left, Daymaker on the right. High beam comparison As you can see, the Hogworkz is a bright white, while the Daymaker has a slight yellow tint. High beams, top light is out High beams High beams, both lights are lit
