I had the Eagle LED 2nd gen on my Dyna, at $150 it was the best looking of the cheaper LEDs for color, and cut off. It actually had a DOT stamp on it, too.

I went with hogworkz. Very happy and so much better than stock. There are other options folks are happy with. Spend a little time researching and you’ll find the daymakers are disappointing especially at the cost.

Here's my LED headlight set up. Headlight is a Truck Lite Phase 7. Passing lights are knock offs.

I've had that headlight on two different bikes for a total of 5 years now. I love how clean it looks with just the two LEDs (one for low and one for high). And yes, its still super bright.

Above pic, although I used the 3 pc Truck lite set on top, I also purchased a set of those knockoffs and mounted them inside the crash bar for light down low and wide. ( R.H. unit aimed slightly toward the ditch )
Works just skippy, and 5 lights can`t hurt being seen in the daytime.


Peanuthead, what brand are those turn signals ? Tnx

I purchased this headlight/passing lamp set from Amazon for both my 2005 Deluxe and 2012 Ultra - very happy. Bright white LED and very inexpensive. Plug n play adn have been running on Deluxe for over a year and on Ultra for about 4 months, no issues.

It looks like some of the LED style lights stick out a little further than stock. Is this true?

I have been looking at LED for my 04 EGC for some time now.

Maybe just a bit (1/4" or so)... but OEM retaining rings, etc worked as with OEM head light and passing lamps.
