Daymaker Reflector LED Headlamp
Added the Daymaker Reflector LED Headlamp - http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...11-67700189--1 - and the auxiliary lights to my SGS yesterday. I had the TL Phase 7 and auxiliary lights on my Limited, and I think the Daymaker headlamp is a nice improvement. Because the headlamp has three LEDs, one pointed directly back and two pointed at angles to either side, it really seems to add visibility laterally. I would recommend this upgrade.

Yep. Same here. I had the dealer flash the computer so the auxiliary lights stay on when the high beam is on.

Oh, I forgot to mention; I too have the daymaker reflector headlamp and passing lamps. Amazing upgrade, a little disappointed with the high beam, but passing lamps are great.

I am surprised nobody is running an aftermarket HID kit in their oem housing...I did it on my 07 and put it next to the Trucklite lamp and was dead even for brightness but the HID were much broader horizontally. I keep reading about not being able to see the headlight on a bike equipped with the Trucklite, when looking head on and off centered, i would think this along with the broader horizontal pattern would not make this a wise choice for MC's.
I will be more than happy to post results when installed.....should be here in a week.

But when it comes down to it, the HID ballasts are ALL made in the same place (china), and they just aren't designed to run off the type of electric system you find on our bikes.
LED's are, well, the wave of the future. I sure did like the TL lights, but I'll be damned, the harley ones are better.

still have faith in quality HID
I had my 07 SG since new, the HID light were the first thing upgraded. logged over 47K miles with the and never, not once did it flicker, nor leave me lightless, but when in a pack, was always scolded for riding in the tail, due to amount of light projected. I can tell you that there are HID kits that are fabb'd with the cheapest of cheap parts. My kit if i can remember was purchased from a gentleman at Motorcycle Metal...and i think was around $250....well worth the amount of light needed for the night time rides in mountainous Colorado....I have purchased a set of HID for my trucks and am currently awaiting my new 2014 SG HID kit through www.retrosolutions.com and have enough faith in their quality product to spend a chunk of $$ and go the HID route over the LED....If they do not perform better and are not brighter than the LED, i will have learned a valuable lesson, thus tuck my tail 'tween the legs and go with the Jones' and purchase the LED...
