Default Harley LED headlight

Okay guys. I have seriously considered purchasing their headlight but have been waiting to see feedback on them. I understand Harley has extended the warranty on them to 2 years. I know there are other products out there that are cheaper and just as of not more reliable.
Are these lights worth the money?
And how would it look of you stayed with Stock passing lamps?
My other concern is what to do if out an a road trip and this unit malfunctions

Been covered in great detail. Please check out search function.

Summary. HD is great, but pricey. Truck light also great but less expensive. Other companies sell essentially the same lights, but at different price points.

Many match up their accessory lights with main bulbs.

Pull up a chair, grab a drink (or three) and have some extra time.

Said it before and I will say it again. Love the light,outstanding visibility night and day,if you ride at night it is worth the money. Over a year and a half old with 12,000 miles and no problems.

Ive had it on the bike since the day i purchased it and the only issue i had was a pinhole in the seal which caused the interior of the glass to fog over. Dealer replaced it with no issues. Have approx 15,000 miles on it and would purchase this light again if i had to for a new bike.
