Default LED headlight and driving lights

I just installed Truck Lite phase 7 headlight and driving lights on my 2012 Ultra. They look great. I haven't ridden at night yet, so I can't say how much brighter they are. I also ordered the wider headlight trim ring with the 7" halo LEDs. And lastly, the adapter to keep my driving lights on when I use high beams.
I've been wanting to upgrade to LED lights for awhile now but couldn't decide between H-D and Truck Lite. I made my decision after seeing the sale price that Eastern Performance had on-line. I also saw in a recent post about Phase 7s that Tim from Eastern Performance told a customer to call him and he'd give him an additional discount. So I called; and he did.
I ordered them last Monday and got them on Wednesday. Free shipping.
I'm really looking forward to a night-time ride to see the difference they make.

I've got the Phase 6 lights on my bike. I'll assume they're comparable - you're going to see w BIG difference. Believe it or not, the bigger benefit to me is how much more I'm seen in the daytime. I get a lot of comments on how these lights stand out in the daylight.

The Phase 7's are VERY bright in daylight. My friend installed some in his Softail and it's impossible to miss when he's behind me.

It'll be a night and day difference. (Pun intended). The LED's are easier on my eyes, and make it easier to see at night - for me anyway.

Can anyone offer installation requirements for Truck Lite LED on a 2010 Street Glide. I'm currently running a stock light.

The TL LED's are plug&play. No load balancer needed. Remove your outer trim ring, remove the 2 screws that secure the headlight, unplug it. Plug the TL LED headlight in, secure it with the 2 screws, and adjust as necessary. You should not need to adjust the light left or right, but may need to horizontally.

Simple, just put one on my 2012 SG. Remove the trim ring with one screw (6oclock position). You will then see three screws holding the light assembly in place. remove those three screws, unplug the harness and old light is out. Reverse procedure with new truck lite.
Got mine for $190 shipped from DTS on Ebay. I love mine.
I was too slow, Instructions already posted lol

I've never seen spots aimed correctly from the factory.

How about the passing lamps...they don't seem to be "plug-n-play" with the stock blade connectors...??
