I thought I was getting both head light and spots. I was really disappointed when I picked the bike up and it only had the head light done. It really annoyed me driving down the road with pure white down the road and the yellow up close. Saved my money and had the spots installed. Saved some more money and had the front turn indicators (the rear ones were back ordered at the time) done and the rear stop light. Saved some more money and I'm going to order the rear turns, Tour Bag lights, and the luggage rack light. LED's are expensive but by golly I'm going to be seen running down the road. That way when someone hits me from the back they won't be able to say they didn't see me, they will have to say my tail lights blinded them

luisan,

I was afraid someone was going to tell me that, but, I will have to wait and see how things work out. I've always been a little disappointed with the harley headlights. Thanks for the advice though.

I still like the Truck Lite LED better than my dad's HD LED light. The TL has less 'hard lines'. plus, they're used in Afghanistan on all the tactical vehicles and some construction equipment. so yes, i am a bit partial to the TL because I have seen it in action over here

either way, LED is much safer on the road with the ******* drivers these days. my headlight has saved my *** a handfull of times

I like my LED set up too. What would I need to change in order to get the aux lamps to stay on with the high beam?
