Yep, Custom dynamics Pro Beam Adaptive. The adaptive ones are the only ones that fix the dark spot when cornering.

1. Before you go spending money, check the alignment of your headlight and side running lights. Mine were not aligned correctly.
2. Have your dealer switch the side running lamps (using the digital technician) to always on in both low beam and high beam. When I was just running the high beam without the running lights, the close in light was not very good and the high beam was sort of washed out looking because of the distance.
3. Once I had everything adjusted and the running lamps on with both the high and the low beam the light projected is pretty good.

4. You can spend as many dollars as you want and get all the lighting you want, there are many good light setups out there as there are opinions.

5. I will take some flack for this but on my 2003 Sportster, I went cheap with one of these (you will need a different size for your Ultra):

Amazon Amazon

SUNPIE 5-3/4 5.75 Inch LED Headlight Motorcycle Compatible with Sportster 883 XL1200 Compatible with Dyna Low Rider Wide Glide Super Glide Compatible with Softail Springer Deuce Street 500 Street 750.

They are not for everyone but at $40 it was worth a try and I was pleasantly surprised at the light output and beam dispersion.

I wish we could get that done up here easily, but the dealers refuse as it's illegal and they don't want to be responsible for such things

I went with Eagle Lights with halo on all the lights up front and couldn't be happier. Much brighter than stock and it really lights up the dark.
