Another Lighting Question

I'm about to purchase the Kuryakyn Phase 7 LED headlight to replace my stock halogen on my Streetglide. I know the LED is superior at night, but how do they compare when it comes to daytime visibility from a safety standpoint.

I went with the HD dual halogen, kicks out a lot of light in daytime and is a significant improvement at night as well. That plus the 50 watt fog lights were still several hundred bucks less the LED head light.

I recently changed to the Cibie headlight with the Osram Rallye 70/65 watt bulb. Right at $100 delivered to the house within 3 days.

Installs as a standard headlight, simple adjustment.

Unbelievable improvement. Better than anything I have seen. I just made a 1,000 mile weekend run, over half of it after dark or before sunrise. Very pleased. Also changed the running lamps to GE 898, 38 watt bulbs. Minimal additional draw on the electrical system.
