changes to HD LED headights
That's the one. I'd like to see a side by side comparison at night. I like the looks of the new one better since it has a more traditional appearance when it's off. I also like the $100 price difference. Does it stick out like the Kuryakyn one requiring a different trim ring? If that's the case, I'm not sure it would work with the way the new fairing "brow" extends a bit over the top of the headlight.
This should help you out

With the lower amp pull of the LED lamps, should not be a problem.

Save some money and get the Trucklite. It is the same thing branded for HD for over $200 more. You get a better warranty from Trucklite too. The only advantage I can see to getting the HD one is if you absolutely have to have that little light up bar and shield in the middle. But is that worth $200+????
I'm going to disagree with you. I saw many TL phase 7's and HD LED's and the HD were much more noticeable when coming at you then the Phase 7's. If that doesn't bother you then don't sweat it. I personally like the extra daytime visibility. I will be getting the JW version of the HD LED from Discount Fleet this winter. They run about 375.00
I am talking about the new HD LED headlight which is a rebranded or cloned Phase 7. Not the JW Speaker made Daymaker.
And as far as daytime visibility I run my Phase 7 on high beam during the day for better visibility. I am not viewing it from the front myself but I have seen them run on high beam during the day on other bikes passing by and they were very bright and visible. I will agree that the JWS Daymaker is a little more visible during the day because it has a slight blueish cast to it.

I am also a fan of the TLP7, but it does need to be on bright during the daytime for maximum visibility. I did the passing lamp wire mod to blaze all 3 on bright during the daytime.
IMHO.
