I purchased mine here http://oviedosafetylights.com/shoppi...roductCategory= I guess I found a old link with an old price of $480. two days later I went to get the link again for a friend and the price went backup to $720. There are not alot of places that sell the JW since they are OEM only.

Thanks for the replies, and thanks for the comparison. I like the output and the idea that there should still be light even if one of the LED's fails. It's strange that around $500.00 feels like a good deal compared to $700.00 for a headlight bulb? Someday soon I will probably lose my fight with common sense and buy one.

Me, too. I'd like to get one this weekend but the finances aren't right. Prices will drop sooner or later.

All this talk about more light made me go out and buy one of those Silverstar bulbs. Gonna give it a try in the morning.

Great review, my HD units get here on the 20th. I will look at the truck light for the new 7"light I just put on the Dyna. Thanks for the reviews.

Question

Just to be sure, does the LED headlamp from HD come with the auxillary lamps or not? The description from the web page sounds like it does. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US If the auxillary lamps come with the headlamp, then the price tag isn't so terrible compared to their HID lamp.

Ride safe,

Bob.

Are you kidding? Do you think HD would throw in the passing lamps if you bought the LED headlight? I don't think so.
