GENSSI LED 7" Projector LED
I had a Trucklite and agree that looked off at any angle in the daytime but great at night. I'm looking at trying one of these from Amazon that have matching aux lamps:

Looks like Harley updated the Daymaker. Anyone else notice this?

From a riding and visibility perspective LED's are the most visible daytime lighting out there so thats a plus if you rarely drive after dark. I spend about 15 minutes of dark driving going to work every morning. I like the output of halogens way better in dark then an LED. I've never been flashed by anybody with an LED headlamp even on high beam. Approaching cars in darkness seem to in effect cancel my lighting out on the road. It's important if you night ride to have a head lamp that projects as far ahead as well as wide a pattern possible. It's imperative to be able to spot road kill and animal eyes well off the road after dark. LED's don't do this unfortunately.
My Custom Dynamics LEDs in my turn signals and tail light are phenomenally bright. I know for a fact that a dual halogen will blow a Daymaker LED out of the water with light output. I attached a video i found on you tube so you can see how little light the Daymaker puts out. Low beams horrible and If you want to call it high beam its well you look.

LED's have a great beam and increase visibility during daylight. Their problem at least in my experience is they have little to no side projection which is extremely important for after dark riding. 99 percent of my riding is daylight so i really love that be noticed lighting. If i rode substantially after dark i wouldn't have LED headlights as my main source of lighting. Give me a big bright Halogen for that purpose. I need to see way off the road sides with my high beams on for critters. LEDs don't reach out to the sides like other bulbs do.
