Headlight
My 2000 Electra Glide has a Bosch H4 headlight, and the lense has yellowed with time. I started rooting around for a replacement, and was shocked to see how proud some of these manufacturers are. Even Harley wants $130 for one, and that seems like a hell of a deal. I want something better, but not several hundred dollars better. I don't have the need for something fancy. If you guys have any suggestions I'm all ears.

If you are going to buy a new lens or headlight then have a go at this first as you have nothing to lose.

If you want something cheap and easy, go to the auto parts store and get 7" sealed beam halogen. I run the Sylvania Silverstar and I think it's like $25 to $30. Pretty much any 7" round high/lo beam headlight will work.
I don't run country roads at night so I don't really need the light for me to see, I just need to be seen.

I installed an E Code headlight housing with an Osram H4 bulb in my 2004 Road King many years ago. Back then (2007) the headlight reflector was $32 and bulb was $20. Link to the headlight I purchased. https://www.rallylights.com/hella-7-...h-hl79562.html

Haha, it's not about the money. But $300 and up for a headlight reminds me of all the silly Jeep people and their need for a light bar.
