Default Headlight

I am getting older (55) I hate to admit.
My night vision isn't what it used to be. Last night when my wife and I went for a putt and I noticed the funeral percession behind me.
Any words of wisdom for a brighter head lamp for an 07 electra glide ?

Do a search for daymaker or trucklite and you'll find a lot of information.

Lots of threads on headlights, opinions all over the map. I'm in your age bracket and went with Trucklite LED headlight and passing lamps....money well spent. Not everyone here will agree with me tho......makes our country great tho. Anyway, go to dealer and have them show you what they have. Read some threads here. Look at YouTube too. Eventually you'll get a feel for what you think is best for you and that's what you need to get.

Good luck.

I'll be putting HID's in my Road Glide. They provide a better beam and cost a lot less.

Make sure your light is aimed right too. The proper adjustment can make a world of difference.

As the OP's EG and my RK use a similar style of light, can you suggest an HID kit for these two bikes?

Thanks in advance.
