The 7” truck lite is popular for jeeps
You “might” find a great internet price on a pair and split the cost with a friend

Just a thought, won’t hurt to look

Many here have given positive reviews to Sunpie units, very low price
i have no direct experience

^^^ These. I do have experience. Have had the Sunpies in my 12 UC for 3 years now and am very happy with them. Way, way better than stock. You can get the complete set-up of headlight & 2 driving lights for $100 on Amazon.

I also have had the Sunpie in my Street Glide for 3 years. No complaints here and it's bright. Still the best value imho. I can't think of any negatives.

Exactly
the O.P. Has a street glide ( no spot lamps )
Great price even if the passing/spots are stuck on the shelf.
Is the center lamp available separately?

Lots of choices and price points

Hard to argue with $47!
If you’re not happy you ditch it and try something else!

I ride a 2016 FXDB and I have this 5-3/4” headlight from Eagle Lights. Very bright and wide beam. High beams shoot waaayyy down the road.

https://www.eaglelights.com/products...an-motorcycles

I also have these LED daytime running lights/turn signals. They’re a very bright white daytime running light and when switched to turn signal they flash white then amber when signaling.

https://www.eaglelights.com/products/eagle-lights-front-solid-base-led-turn-signals

I run these out back.


https://www.eaglelights.com/products...d-turn-signals

Use coupon code SAVE15 to save 15% on your order.

Customer service is impeccable as well.

Oh and if you’re compelled to buy smoked turn signal/brake light lenses, do not buy their’s.
I bought theirs and they didn’t snap in worth a damn, so I sent them back.
Instead I bought these high quality smoked lenses from IMZZ Elite.

https://www.imzzelite.com/shop/motor...signal-lenses/

I’m only sharing my experience and advocating for these exact products and I am in no way affiliated with either company.

I had sunpie lights on my RK, and they beat the stock stuff hands down. That being said, on my EGS I went with the best, and got the JW Speaker adaptive 2. They are VERY pricey, but, I work an overnight shift, so I do a lot of riding at night. Any advantage I can get, I will take. Throwing light to the side, incorporating both high AND low for high beams, I will gladly pay money for. If I hit an animal at night on my commute, it could be hours before I am found, so, I want to hedge my bets!
Sunpies are better if you dont normally ride at night, but occasionally get stuck in the dark. If you routinely ride at night, in high animal traffic areas, I would strongly suggest getting the best you can get.
