LED Headlights - Facts & Opinion
#41
I agree with you there is a lot of good info in this thread , as far as the led projector style lights that come on the 14/15 models imho they are great for interstate riding or strait roads ,but really suck in any type curve. I have mine flashed so that the auxiliary lights stay on even when on bright it helps very little.

Last night I once again realized just how bad the stock headlight is. I've decided to go with the TL after all of the information I read on this thread. I do have a couple of questions I was hoping some of you could answer.
For a 2014 SGS, will I need a ring, or does the TL fit well without sticking out too much? Also, I'm reading on other posts and reviews that an adapter is needed and also reading that it's not. Does anyone know if I'll need one for my 2014?
Last but not least, how difficult are they to install? I've never installed a headlight before in my life, but I have done several things to my bike and previous bike. I've changed exhaust, grips, handlebars, etc. I'm not afraid to do work, but am hesitant when it comes to the electrical system issues that could possibly come into play.
It looks like this isn't too difficult, but I'd rather hear some opinions here.
Thanks in advance!

Man I miss the lights of my FLTRX... With that being said I am hoping and fairly confident that with the proper adjustment these new LED lamps on my '14 Limited will be OK... I started this evening by adjusting headlight all the way up; may be slightly high just did real quick to check difference... This did help and now I can see that the Auxiliary lamps need to be higher (need reflash to stay on) to fill in the gap between high beam light and auxiliary light... I can see from service manual how these need to intersect... Ordered Snap On FRX181 to adjust auxiliary lamps... Hope this works...
