Default UPDATE - LED Head Light Comparison JW/HD & TL

As promised - here is a link to the updated comparison of the forward lighting offerings (headlights and passing lamps) from Truck-Lite Company and J.W. Speaker Corporation (JW makes the HD branded LEDs)

CORRECTED LINK HERE >>>>>> www.bogiesreviews.webs.com

Hope this helps.

Comments appreciated.

Travis & bogie

Thanks for the update. I was all set to order the Harley LED headlight for the Night Train, but with the damn thing being nearly invisible during daylight hours, now I'm not so sure. Makes me feel much better about the CD LED on the Limited too.

Thanks for the updated review. When I have the extra coin, Truck Lite is going to receive some of it.

Thanks again and ride safe,

Bob.

Thanks for another great write-up guys. Makes my decision even harder now. I really like the light spread of the JW, but don't honestly know if it that much better than the TL to constitute the higher price.

Guys, awesome review. Thanks for taking the time to provide the information. I'll probably go with the TL headlight and passing lamps when the time comes.

Travis & bogie... you guys ROCK!

That was a terrific comparison review. I have the phase 5 TL with the TL passing lights somewhere in the mail. I was pleased that as I read your review I developed essentially the same conclusions that you guys did.

I happy with my own choices in this arena.

For those that are still in the thinking about it stage, this review will definitely provide unbiased information to aid their decision.

Thanks for shedding some unbiased light on these two offerings. So based on your review it seems one has to chose between being able to see where you are going while riding at night or being seen where you are coming from during the day. ;-)

Thanks guys, nice job! :-) Excellent read, the pictures are great!
