Default Which LED Headlights?

Hi Guys, I am planning on up-grading to LED headlights and spotlights for my '06 Ultra Classic. What sort of service have you had with them? Which do you prefer, Harley's or Kuryakyn's? Was the money the deciding factor, or does one work better than the other? Thanks

I went with the Harley led headlight and aux lights. They are very pricy, but they feel very solid and they are worth the $$ in my opinion.
My buddy and I have the same bike but his does not have the led's yet and when we ride at night it is amazing how much more road these light up over the stock headlight.

I went with TruckLite/Kury, both headlight and passing lamps. I'm very happy with them--they really light up the night. I ended up having to but the french trim rings to get the passing lights to fit properly though. You'll also want to consider the french trim ring for the headlight as it sticks out quite a bit from the stock trim ring. Even with the trim rings it's still a lot less $$$ than the HD ones. I spent the savings on other do-dads.

I went with the TL LEDs, fit was no issue, plug and play. I like the TL brand for their daylight visibility as well.

TL also makes the LED lights the military uses on tactical vehicles, they are combat tested so I'm sure they will hold up to anything we can throw at them.
