They are made under contract by HD. Not the same as when a Chinese company steals American technology and makes knockoff products.

If you don't have power to the high beam contact in the plug, trouble shoot that problem. Have you verified the ground wire is well grounded? Are BOTH low and high light sources on all the time? Again, check the plug for proper power separation and if the wiring to the plug is functioning properly, the light assembly has in internal wiring/power distribution problem (faulty).

actually the high beam is stuck on that is the problem. Bad light

To be fair, and as a blue blooded conservative american...that's not "our" technology. I agree china makes **** products but I can buy 3 7in sunpies for what one daymaker costs.

I was thinking the same thing.... just got the sunpie lights for my 2011 EGUC, and the high beam is just a tiny spot that shows up inside the light pattern on my garage door. It's almost non existent

That is just so much misinformation. You could adjust the beam higher or lower per the service manual. I have sunpies on both bikes and my friends have them too and no problems.

To the OP. If your light has the three prong connector make sure the connectors are in the right position. I once plugged mine in and had 1 side up and 1 down. If I recall I only got one beam. Disconnected it, turned 1 around, plugged them back together and everything worked.
