Just wanted to provide you all with an update. I installed mine tonight into my '15 Road King, but was only able to use the low beam bulb. The high beam build was hitting the metal steering shaft thing and would not allow the bucket to seat properly. I had the bulbs with the fans as I could not find the copper heat sink version.

I also did the double rubber trick for the low beam bulb. It helped a lot.

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know my experience.

Default LED headlight

Fit my SGS perfectly. I was concerned with the fit because of all of the wiring for my amp but no problems. Thanks for the post.

I tried a cree LED headlight as well.The problem with LEDs in a small space like the headlight housing on a scooter is that they run really hot and usually burn out in a short amount of time due to the lack of moving air to cool the heat sink. In an automotive setting, there is usually plenty of air space behind the headlights that allows the heat to escape.

I have the same ones rocket and racin have for about 2 weeks now so far so good. I do have to aim my headlight because it feels like the are not bright enough in front of me. Ie: (the down the line punch). When I find a good spot to do it in I will have a go at it.
