07 SG headlight
Last nite while riding with a group, someone asked if my headlight was on. Now i have always thought the low beam was kinda crappy, high beam is fine. Is it just me? or are these kinda lousy low beams, I'm gonna switch it over to a whiter blub, some of the post i have seen, Thanks

Yes, the low beam is horrible on Street Glides. I put a PIAA Xtreme White Plus in mine. Cost about 50 bucks online but the different at night with the low beam is well worth the cost.

If you look in your rear view mirror when you have Harley's behind you with the spot lights, which come on when the low beam is used, you will see that the spots with only 25 watts are much brighter than the low beam.

I was just saying that last night coming home from a place in the boonies. You can't see crap with the low beam. Where did you get the Xtreme White bulb from? Something else I noticed, the direction the beam is pointing. The whole headlight is pointing to the left. I haven't touched it since I picked it up in April, anybody else have this or did I just get one that was put together on a Friday.

That`s because the headlamp is aimed down to far.
I adjusted both my 07 SG and 08 FLHTCU to a proper level and now I can run at night with my shades on and still see.
Aftermarket bulbs are also a good idea, but try the proper adjustmentbefore you buy the $30.00 white bulb.[8D]

With all lights aligned, the 25 watt spots are more noticeable to other drivers than the low beam.
