Sounds like the TL7 is still the way to go, pity as these lights are much better looking.

My Trucklite Phase 7 headlight and aux lights provide all the light I was looking for at night. I wouldn't have paid almost twice as much to get the HD/JW Speaker ones and after reading the feedback from users here, I'm glad I picked the TL 7.

Great info! I was going to go with the LEDs but not anymore. I'll keep monitoring to see what the general concensus is for the best lghts.

Spend the money and go with the HD Daymaker. Looks awesome, fits correctly, and great performance IMO. You can get 20% off from LSHD1 or as in my case my dealer matched their price.

the lights are identical and the fit is identical. Just pointing out for those that wanted to know good and bad about the light in general. The first time you have to take a sharp curve at night and can't see in front of you because one part of your flat beam is pointed to they sky and the other in the ditch you'll know what I'm talking about.

Having the passing lamps on will help. Isn't that a issue with the TL as well?

I stand corrected. I thought he was talking about the Truck Light.

To compliment my TL7 headlight, I just recently added some TL Phase 6 spots. Although not quite as intense as the H-D(JWS) lights, they're more noticeable to vehicles in daylight, a nice improvement on shoulders at night and a bargain at the $138 I paid for them as a demo pair.

You cheap bast**d you! lol
I paid $350 for a NIB set of TL7 (headlight + passing lamps) so I can't complain either.
I didn't care for the looks of the Phase 6 passing lamps so I went with the Phase 7.

They might be a tad less noticeable during daylight than the Phase 6 but at night, they're awesome.

Lightbulb Daymakers on a TriGlide

I'm guessing the issue with the light pattern tilting wouldn't be an issue with the TriGlide. I think I want the Daymaker headlamp and auxiliary lamps but the $900 price tag for both (well - less with MVP) is putting me off.
