Default Road glide headlights

I have searched and can't really find exactly what I was looking for. I have a 05 road glide and I am looking for better light output. I had the stock style bulbs and those weren't cutting it. So I threw in a hid kit, they look cool and throw some decent light but I am looking for a way to really light up the back roads at night. Are the daymakers worth the $600 plus price tag or is the best you can get is to throw in some piaa h4 bulbs? I don't want to add any spot lights or anything. Any input on this would be awesome. Thanks guys

My daymakers are bright as hell, I love them - others swear by the truck-lites, I'm sure they're great too, but I only have experience with daymakers - killer bright.

Kury makes a decent looking set of auxiliary lights that replace the turn signal mount on the roadies.

Almost went that way.

Then I discovered Rushmore.....

Before you place that order I would seriously consider HID replacements. Much cheaper and tons of light
