Default Hogworkz Blackout LED for RKS

Does anyone have a Hogworkz Blackout LED headlight (not Halomaker), and what do you think about it? I don't want the LED ring, but was wondering if the light is not bright enough. It costs much less than the Harley Daymaker, but is it worth the purchase?

I've got it on my Road King (as well as the auxiliary lamps). It's more than bright enough and well worth the cost - one of the best investments that I've made. I'm with you on the Halomaker - don't need, don't want. Also, my supplier said that the Hogworkz is brighter (tech wise) than some of the less expensive aftermarket LEDs. Without a doubt, pull the trigger.

Got a pic?? Was interested in the Halomaker, but now maybe not. FWIW, I spoke with a guy on here who said he had tried every light out, and the halomaker was far and away the best light available.

I'm happy with my Hogworkz headlight on my 2018 Road King Special. Alot brighter than stock and throws a pretty good beam to the side I ride backroads to work at 4 am so a bright headlight is important to me

Glad to hear you are happy with it, and that it's bright. I just ordered the light. Got a pic?

The halo is personal preference, and could make the light a bit brighter. Many like the look, but i'm not one of them. I don't even like the look when the light is off.

I chose the black vs the chrome... The King already has lots of chrome up front, and sometimes less is more. I'm not sure if it's due to the head lamp or the auxiliary lamps, but in addition to lots of light up front, they throw a TON of light to both sides. Hopefully my pics will upload...

The black looks great against the chrome. Good choice. I’m looking forward to making the swap. I already have Kuryakyn LEDs in the turn signals up front and the headlight will finish off the look
