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.

 

I ran the trucklite phase 7 for quite a while. I really liked it and if you keep your eye out they show up in the classified sections from time to time.

Clean it with alcohol.

 

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

Glass should clean!
craigslist should have some good low mileage take offs.
Unless you're just wanting to spend money.

 

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

Thanks, but I tried that on my truck without success. I finally just replaced them.

 

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.
