Bite the bullet...get LED. (side note, when I sold my EG Ultra and got a Road Glide....I advertised my Trucklite LED head light for sale. 6 monthes old.....make me an offer. Cost $300...I got it for $150......I ended up seeing a guy on the road, asked him if he wanted it and gave it to him). No one would offer me $5 for the thing.

The problem with HID in a halogen canister is the fact you blind oncoming drivers, some think this is okay - others believe this is a danger, to each his own.

TruckLite Phase 7, or pony up for the HD Daymaker.

Stay away from the Harley day maker like they put on the cvos. It does good in a straight line but cuts the view in half as soon as you lay it over in a moderate curve. It really sucks in a true twisty. I would rather have the stock head light.

Any non floating projector is going to do this unfortunately, and I don't know of any floating projector - would make quite an interesting progress.
