Default New LED Headlight and running W/Pic

Installed the Harley H/L & R/L. Now before you start I know what I'll hear from some. To expensive {my life is worth it} irritates oncoming traffic {that means they see me} and the all so famous " I can get the same effect from a $30 bulb. I know in my garage at night they are very bright. I f f*#@ing winter ever ends I'll post hopefully good report.

Looks great, really like the appearance of the led headlight and passing lamps. Nice job.

Those look great. Though they are expensive, IMHO well worth it. Mine are on order from Chicago HD. Hope to recieve then within the next couple of weeks.

Yep, trying to finish mine up today...can't wait to try them out. Did you have to do much adjusting to get them right? Just wonder how close they will be with the factory settings on the spots, & how close the adjustment settings are out of the box on the headlight.

I can't believe you spent that much money on an LED Headlight when you could have purchased a $30 bulb that will do the same thing!






Sorry...I couldn't resist! Looks great! You can never be too visable.
I'm considering doing something with my headlight. Either LED or HID?
