Add Auxiliary Passing Lights or LED Headlight?
OK, so I want to improve my lighting but I'm on a limited budget, I must choose to buy the Aux Passing Lights,,, or,,,, Hogworkz LED headlight.
Will the added Aux lights improve my night lighting farther down the road than the stock lighting...... When I look over my 6.5 Windshield, the stock lights do not go very far ahead of the Windshield.
If the Aux lights will improve my lightings, then i would love to change the look a little and add the Aux lights... but....in the spring I will add LED's for all of the front facing lights.

I have a 2013 CVO Road King which did not come with Aux lights. I looked at adding the Aux light kit, however, I have decided to go with the LED headlight. I have looked at other Road Kings with all three halogen lights illuminated compared to a single LED headlight and I have decided on the LED headlight. I am still debaing the weather to go with the Truck-Lite 27270C which I have read is the same as the GE 69821 Nighthawk ($157 vs $219)? Or go with a JW Speaker headlight, possibly adoptive?

You have a dual bulb headlight? Replace the low beam with an H9 bulb. Wire it up to a panasonic relay and 14ga. wire. The only problem with the added relay is shorter bulb life....Add the auxiliary lights of your choice and enjoy.

Three is better than one
I dont ride at night, but people sure see me during the day. These are just led replacement bulbs that I bought from another member. Very happy with them.

I'd go with a LED headlight first and then, when you have the funds, add LED passing lamps. Hogworkz is a great headlight. I have their Halomaker headlight + passing lamps and they're impressive. I had Trucklite on my previous bike and the Hogworkz are better in my opinion.
