I don't think so. Just each one of our experience's / opinions. Mine are experiences, as are Stupid Rope's. I am not sure about Streetrunner. That could have been his experience with them...

My wife has the HD LED on her Fat Boy Lo and I find it to be a vast improvement over the stock lamp and very visible under all conditions. I plan on putting one on my Street Glide come spring.

the first day i moved the bikes around the block after washing i jumped on the dyna with the oem light and really thought i was going blind after spending hours under fluorescent lights. then i moved the electra glide and had a smile ear to ear with just the passing lamps installed. i really think just changing them gives a wider view that is real nice. i won't debate any long range thoughts it was just a great appreciation of what i could see around me. since, i have added the headlight which is all was kury/truck lite.

I have the Truck-Lite LED and it is MUCH cheaper and way more visible in daylight without sacrificing lighting at night.
If you do a search on this site there is a comparison with pic's that helped me make my decision.

I agree, I don't have one but noticed on bikes that do when I am at an angle they are hardly visible. Straight on they are fine

From everything I've been reading on this and other threads I am going with TruckLite. It seems to be better visibility during the day, just as good as HD at night and nearly half the price.

If I could only find a dealer that will sell them so I can use my Chrome Cash.

I have to agree also, the HD LED looks really neat, but for daytime visibility the Kury is far superior.

My buddy has the HD led and driving next to him at night is awesome over my stock lights, whiter light and can see clearer and farther.

I have the HD led headlight and auxiliary lights. They work very well at night. Not sure whether an hid conversion would give equal results at far less money but I like the looks and clean install of the HD leds.

I have H-D passing lamps and the TL headlight. They both kick ***, day or night.
The headlight replaced an HID headlight that kicked *** until it went intermittent. The passing lamps are strong enough to ride at night with no headlight.
