Default $165 aux light 😂

Yep, $165 for an aux light. What am I nuts...yep, well not exactly. One of the aux lights burned out so I thought “I should put in LEDs”. $15 from super bright leds and I’m all set...wait, now my headlight looks yellow. Sun on the beach...did my research and decided to get the Truck-lite LED headlight, $151 later we’ll see how it all looks. Just another day in paradise.

Great light make a world of difference when riding at night. I have the Truck Lite across the front of my Road King and very happy with the light that they put out.

A short time ago I put Custom Dynamic Truebeam headlights on my Road Glide. They are nothing short of amazing.

Trucklite for headlight and aux (driving) lights. They are mandatory IMHO if you are riding at night.

Got the headlight installed, simple and quick. Happy with the results. Nice white light and amazing how much light a single LED can produce.


Factory headlight looks yellow


New light nice and white

Thinking about this myself, does the light shine distance as the regular bulbs?

LED is the way to go.
Good lights can sure get pricey.
A while back, replaced one Cadillac SRX Headlight, whole component had to be replaced.
$1,200.00 was the cheapest that the unit could be found, (Dealer cost), and I had to remove the front cap to get to it.
I feel your pain...

Haven't had it out after dark yet but everything I've read suggest it travels farther than the halogen light.
