Default Second RG Daymaker installed - Same smudge issues
Just had my second Daymaker installed this weekend due to the fact that the first one had a few smudges on the inside of the lenses. Well sad to report that the replacement has the same exact issue. Except this time it is worse. This is totally unacceptable for a $700 headlight. I encourage anyone who has had the same issue to look at and reply to the post I just made on JW Speakers Facebook page.

This is for the Roadglide Daymaker. I see in your sig you have a Street Glide.

Thanks, I won't be buying a Daymaker anytime soon. Hard to believe the quality control on an expensive part like this is so lax.
