Trucklite products are available over here, but I guess the headlight isn't because it dips the wrong way for us. The sooner the World all drive on the left the better!

Before you buy go to socalmotogear.com and check out the HID kits. There was a thread here that had great info- benefits, advantages and pricing. All agreed that HID was brighter, lasted longer and cheaper than LED. Good Luck.

If you want bright that you can see from an angle unlike any of the current LED's. IMHO LED's will get there but there not yet. My understanding is most cars running LED's are adaptive so the bulb turns with the wheel.

Another good headlight thread:

I went to that site a couple things to caution are they are a 6000 brightness which is more blue than the 4500 natural light, that blue of light the less distance you can see. And it says 2 weeks to get them which is a out how long it takes to come from china. I dont know where theyre getting their power if theyre not using the battery which is kind of scarey. But at $185 check out DDM tuning dot com i bought the bixonen with hi lo with lifetime ballast warranty for $60 and that was for two sets That fit my fltr and you get a choice of color 4300 is closest to sunlight

LED by motoynamic. I am amazed with the extra light. Even in ay light i can see it reflect off the road signs.

I am planning to add the passing lights to my streetglide. I will use the Harley Kit 69818-06. But with that kit I still need to buy bulbs for it. The HD Day Makers are like $800 once you get the headlamp and the passing lights. I figured this SOCAL Kit was only $185. The headlamp is HID and the passing lights are LED...seems like it is brighter and WAY less money.

Bagman1, Thanks... I will check out the DDM for comparison.
