Default Opinions needed on best head light?

can't decide between the phase 7 or day maker. I am aware in the big price difference between the two, but is the daymaker that much better? How is the 7 compared to stock? Thanks

I got mine from eastern performance for 360 for all 3 lights, they are plug and play. If you get the spot lamps also and they dont light up when you install em, switch the wires in the bikes connectors, they are backwards. The headlamp is 7 inches and spotlamps if you have em are the 4inch lights. I suggest installing the frenched trim ring also, the led light will stick out with your stock trim ring and look like azz, just a suggestion. Good luck. Do a search for "lovebug slaughter" thread, there is a pic of my bike with em installed in case you wanna see it.

I have had both. The Phase7 on my Street Glide and the Day Maker on my 14 Limited. I like them both but as mentioned you will need the deep ring since the Phase7 will stick out further than the HD Day Maker. The day maker is brighter at night than the Phase7 was but both are a major improvement over halogen bulbs. Phase 7 is reflective while Day Maker is projection. HD has a lesser priced LED headlight now that is cheaper than the day maker and looks ALOT like the Phase 7. Perhaps the HD one will fit better.
