HID Headlights for a RG
I see that Harley makes a HID Headlight for a RK and EG models. Does anyone know if someone makes one for a Road Glide, obviously for both headlights. LOL
Thanks guys.

RE: HID Headlights for a RG
I have a setup that I sell for Harleys. I've never had an inquiry from a RG owner though. Do RGs use the same dual filament H4 bulb? If so I can set you up with a dual kit hi/lo beam. The low would be the HID lamp and Hi would be a regular halogen light. This is the best of both worlds, should the ballast go bad or an HID bulb go out, you will not be stranded and would have a traditional halogen lamp to see where you are riding.
Contact me for more details if interested.
Thanks
Joe

You know I have never had to change one so I would assume they are H4 but don't know for sure.
I have looked in to the HID when I first got the RG and keep running in to the roadblock of the HID puts out to much heat for the enclosed headlight system of the RG.
The reflector will melt, and no one makes a metal crystal reflector so I gave up on the idea.

RE: HID Headlights for a RG
I just replaced my Sylvania for the second time, looks like it continues to fail due to vibration.
This time I went with the PIAA Super White H4 80W/80W in the head light and the Super White 55W H3 in my driving lights. What a difference in the light output. Very, very bright white light. Blows the Silverstar away!
The PIAA is is a direct replacement motorcycle bulb and is designed for the vibration on a bike, has the same amp draw as a stock light and runs cooler, but puts out a lot more light. It's real close to HID lights.
