I ordered my 55w 8000k kit last week and it arrived yesterday... however sometimes it might take a little longer...

I orderd a 2012 Ultra with the LED headlights/driving lights. I saw the youtube videos showing the difference. I will be able to tell you if they are as goosd as they are supposed to be. I pick up the bike tomorrow!

Bear - tnx for the ordering info. I'm thinking of getting the 6000k as I'd like it white as
possible - i.e. not bluish. Have you seen the color differences?

Not a problem - just prefer the white look. But then again, I'm an old fart too.

Since the OP only wants to do bulbs PIAA has some pretty nice ones, that's what I used before I went HID, almost anything is better than OEM.

Two new Tri-Glides, both Cool Blue were coming against me on the road Sunday, both had the sharpest looking headlights and spot lights I've ever seen!
I can't say that I have ever seen lights like them before and don't know what they were but I want them on my bike in the worst way.

They seemed to be like a super white/blue. They were like ice-cube laser beams and this was on a super sunny cloudless day.

If anyone knows what they could be please tell me! They've got to be the right choice!

+1 on the PIAA H4. I also bought the PIAA passing lamp bulbs to match the headlight,the wattage is the same as stock but the lights are WAY brighter, just my opinion.
