I was out in AZ this past summer for about 6 months on a work assignment. While driving at night I was pretty much overdriving the headlights on the freeways. I installed a couple of HID lamps along with the H-D fog lamps. Problem solved.

No I don't I actually went with this kit from DDM tuning here in San Diego http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W

I went with the 35w H4 hi/low kit 6000 kelvin (HID high and low beams) As for space, I shoved both the ballasts into the faring support with all the wiring. The only fitment issues is that the hi/low kit uses a magnet on the back of the bulbs to move them in and out of the reflector to give you high and low beams. I had to unscrew the adjusters about 3/4 of the way out to gain enough clearance for the back of the bulb to the inner faring.

The DDM kit is plug and play with one exception. You will have to run a power wire back to the battery an the power wire with the kit will not be long enough, you will have to extend it. It wasn't a big deal for me to do this, especially when you consider the price of the kit ($50.00 for both lights). I've been running them for close to 5K miles now and love them. Hell, the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs are 50 bucks for 2, so for the same price, IMO, get the HID kit.

wow man, are you afraid of the dark? you've already got twice the lights as a streetglide, but there's an alternative for you. first, adjust your headlights properly, it'll make a big improvement on how they're adjusted stock. second, look at hella or cibie "E" code headlights. susquehanna motor sports, google them and see if they have your size. i replaced my stock headlight with one, and i'm really impressed with it. the E code headlights project the light down your lane rather than splattering it all over the place. it's for the european market, and with the same headlight bulb i had in the harley shell, it's easily twice as bright and focussed where we really need the light to be. cibie and hella make the headlight shells and they accept the same type bulb as our current harleys use. for me, it was a huge improvement. for you, with two headlights, it'd be awesome.

I like my motolights alot for watching for 4-legged deer at night. But they came installed on my 2008 sharknose when I purchased it, so price was not an issue.

Can't just replace the shells on a RG. They used to make an E code assembly, but it's discontinued.
