There seems to be a fair amount of confusion and contradictory information on this (and some of the other LED) thread(s). I have HD projector LED HL and passing lamps on both my FLSTCs and a HD Projector LED and Custom Dynamics Bullet rings on my FXDWG. All three of the bikes are lit up like UFO's at night and are highly visible during daylight. Yes, the beam angle on the WG is a bit narrow for fast cornering at night. No flashes from oncoming traffic, but there's no doubt in my mind that I'm WAY more visible than with stock lamps. My feeling PROPERLY ADJUSTED led lamps are arguably one of the most effective safety investments one can make.

I hope my local dealership keeps these in stock. The harness that the online store recommended doesn't fit and I'm too pissed to fool with putting the stock light back in. Guess I'll wait til tomorrow to finish

I'm a pretty careful reader (12 years of post-graduate education helps!) and in fact, there is MUCH confusion not only on this thread but several other LED lighting threads. And yes, most of the complaints regarding daylight visibility concern the reflector style headlights. I have no personal experience with them, so I can't make a statement other than what I've read. I DO have experience with projector style LED amps AND their proper alignment on not one, but 4 different bikes, and alignment is CRITICAL to seeing and being seen regardless of ambient lighting conditions.
