I've been considering the evo 2 for my headlight upgrade along with the HD reflector. But I came across a video by zee's customs who also have a projector style headlight, which actually looks even more impressive than the evo 2. Thoughts? And to the folks with the projector style lamps, do you feel the video by zee's portrays the light pattern of the standard projector in a fairly accurate manner? Link - http://youtu.be/8wzEGZWV9o0

I'll also echo the comment about the evo2, while it does seem to have better flooding than the evo, I noticed the dark spots in the beam pattern & that it didn't overpower the evo even though the output is supposed to be greater.

Yup, you will need what HD calls LED Wiring Harness...just changes the y adapter back to H4 style, 20 bucks at the parts counter...

nothing else is needed...it just bolts right in...in fact, all you need is that wiring harness and a phillips screwdriver

I ordered the JW Speaker Evolution 2, they are the ones that made the HD Daymaker. The evolution 2 is rated brighter than the daymaker. Once I get it next week and have time to install it, I'll post some pics and a review.

I just ordered the Truck Lite 7 light, it's a fraction the price of the HD Daymaker and I think better light
