I have limited experience with these guys but that being said, they offer great products. I have only tried their smaller turn signals LEDs before going in another direction. It was many years ago though.

My 2019 FLHTP came with the Harley LED Daymaker headlight. It had a dark spot between low beam and high beam. I previously had a SunPie set of LED on my 2002 ElectraGlide that providedbetter lighting.
I purchased the Custom Dynamics Adaptive II headlight for my 2019 FLHTP. I like it for night riding.
I prefer the Custom Dynamics to the Eagle lights because I have only had great service from Custom Dynamics. While two friends of mine could not get warranty issues covered from Eagle lights. Both of those guys are now CD customers. Custom Dynamics warranty is lifetime on the LED products.

This is yet another reason I have buyer's remorse with this bike. I miss my 2016. The M8, I thought, was worth the upgrade. But, with all the ways Harley went about cutting costs, it wasn't. But here I am, on the inter-webs trying to iron out yet ANOTHER problem with this bike. I rode last night on the dark roads where I live, and couldn't go faster than 45mph for fear of not seeing wildlife in time.
With mine, when I turn the high beams on, all that happens is the pattern changes, but the light hits the exact same spot on the road in front of me. No brighter, and no further out, and of course the side lights go out. Without taking it to the dealer (which is not close to me) is this something I can program to have them stay on with the high beams?
Anyways, is trying to aim the ones I got all I need to do? And of the links mentioned above, are any of those just a bulb replacement? Or are they a whole assembly replacement?

I have the Sunpie light in my Dyna and an HD Daymaker in my Street Glide. I can't tell the difference. The Daymaker costs 10x as much. I thought the Sunpie was too good to be true but it isn't. The Daymaker came with my bike and if it crapped out tomorrow, I'd buy another Sunpie.

The Custom Dynamics Adaptive II helps me at night.
If I didn't ride much at night, I'd run the Sunpie. I had Sunpie on my 2002 ElectraGlide. The 2019 ElectraGlide came with the HD Daymaker LED. The Sun pie pattern is much better!
