Driving myself crazy!!
I really wanna upgrade my lights on the 12 Ultra classic. I really don't wanna spend $1000 bucks. What's the best solution out there? I'm looking at the Truck-lite phase 7, the dual-halogen set up and just a upgraded bulb. I'm willing to spend the money for the phase 7 if it's a improvement over stock bulbs. The reason I wanna upgrade is the deer at night. Any help is appreciated. I've searched the forums and read thread after thread with no clear cut answer.

Sure there's a clear answer...They all improve the light output over stock.
I chose Halogen Xenons, some guys chose Truck lite, other LEDS and they are all better than what you're running.
What do you expect on this thread that'll be different than all the other threads you've read?

As Stiggy points out, you have several options. Close your eyes and stick a pin in one of them, you'll be better off than at present!
An upgraded bulb will work better in a different reflector, to get improved beam shape, which is what I have done.

I replaced all the lights on my Road King with LED's. THe last were the headlights and driving lights.
-For all turn signals and fender tip light I purchased LED's and new lenses through Custom Dynamics. For those lights you'll need a load balancer and I also chose to add a 3-1 which turns my rear turn signals into running light as well as blinkers.
-For the brake light I replaced it with a BAL-1.
-Headlight/Driving lights are all Phase-7 purchased through Phats Performance (they are having a few % off sales this month too)
I certainly get asked questions about it as it's noticeable. You'll be happy if you do any of those modifications. I promise.
