Looks awesome... I will most likely keep stock housing and find the HID's that fit but will definitely be going with the DDM

Or you could just adjust the aim. Every Harley I have owned has had the headlight aimed to low. IMO

Mine's aimed too high, even w/o my fat *** on it lol...
Went the Phase 6 LED trucklite route last summer. Way brighter than stock, but not a pattern I particularly care for.
Just picked up a Bosch E4 bucket, and waiting on my Osram bulb, give that a swirl next... Just want lots of light w/o going to extra lamps, I like the stripped down look of the SG...

I am really liking how bright these are. What bulb color did you go with?

With the headlight sticking out like that, it gives the fairing a different look. I like it.

here's the real question

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO SPEND?

there are some good recommendations on here that are sub $100 for brighter bulbs and keep your stock look with better performance

the TL phase 7 will run you $217 shipped to your house, then you will want to buy the frenched ring (either visor or regular) which is about another $40 or so, there you are about $260 and the LED light is so much brighter you will think someone turned on the road signs and lights around you

then you have the HD HID and HD LED versions for whatever money those run, but it's more than either of the previous solutions
