Default Headlight and passing lights replacement.

I know this was asked before but here goes. I want to replace my headlight and passing lights with LEDs. Any suggestions on a good brand?
I tried looking in the forum for past answers but haven't been lucky..

2016 Road King..

I bought sunpie off amazon, 100 and some change. I have had them for over a year and they have been great. The light is far better than stock and I feel like I can be seen better in the daylight now. For the price I was shocked.

The Sunpie garbage I picked up was junk. With the low beam aimed just right the high beam was hitting the tops of trees. You get what you pay for on these. I think they are made in China as well.

I have Truck-Lite LEDs in my 2004 RK. I think they are great, They really light up the road.

Just been through this with "LED Factory". I suggest that you check out where the light are made, how much Lux. and the Color of any light that you choose, not to mention the shipping time to get them, and any warranty if available. Some of the cheaper lights are Plastic and not glass.

If you currently have the H4 type and 881 Look at the Sylvania replacements.
If a headlight goes out while you're on the road, where are you going to get a replacement?

I got Sunpie as well. They have worked well for several years in my 14 RK.

I hope this helps.

I vote for the Truck-Lites. I have run these on the last 5 bikes I've had, (still have 2 of them), and I run them in my '99 Jeep as well. I love them. Only problem is with the Jeep. They will pack with snow because they don't get hot enough to melt it off fast enough so it will build up. Haven't had that problem on any of the bikes though, lol.
