Thinking of getting these... anyone have them? and how do you like them?

I had the Road Glide version. I found it didn't throw light down the road, mainly right in front of bike. Kinda like the factory fog lights on my truck. I took them off. The Road Glide looks cleaner up front without them. Pretty pricey also.

I have them on my '09 SG. They look good in the day, don't really help much at night. Chrome on bezels is starting to separate. I wouldn't make the same choice again.

Same here, they are really bright but don't throw the light down the road like I expected. They help a little when you go slow in high deer areas, I would never buy them again or suggest any one to buy them !

Well I put them on my Road Glide about a year ago and all I can say is wow!, what a difference at night. Maybe you didn't have them aimed right but I love mine and I can actually see at night now.

Have 'em
I have the light set up (not the included mounting hardware) that I used on my Heritage for several years... and removed to install on the Ultra.
I like them, not so much for "light down the road", but for others to see me. They throw off a 'flood' type beam (someone mentioned above similar to a fog light), so when that's useful, these will do it. I agree on the lotsa light in near front situations. If you use them, don't buy the Kury replacement bulbs, you can get the same halogen replacements at the local hardware store for $3 or so as well as in both 'spot' or 'flood' and 27w or 35w or 50w versions... I'm running the 50w floods right now and when they expire, I've a pair of 50w spots I'm going to try. Not certain I'd buy a new set, the price is much higher than it was several years ago -- but I'm glad I've got em. My 2 cents since you asked. |
I agree that they do make you more visible in the daylight. Is that a major hardware chain where you can buy the 50w bulbs? I'm having trouble finding them here.

I have them on my '09 and really love them. I have them on all of the time at night.
True, they are not lights that give a long reach down the road. They light up like a fog light. I found that the bulbs that come stock are tinted "Blue" to give the look of the HID light when looking at the light, but not the light of them. When I replaced the bulb with ones bought at Walmart, the light pattern was much brighter and gave a larger one too. I think the look the lights give to the Fairing are good too. It is core chrome for my black Fairing. |
