I have been going round and round for several years about upgrading my lights. I have a 2003 Heritage and have upgraded from the stock lights to the same one OP has. Looked into the day makers and the ones I wanted didn’t fit my model. The 2003 day makers weren’t a option because I didn’t like their look. I finally decided to get the best light and had to compromise the look. I went with custom dynamics probeam2 adaptive, running lights and turn signals. Unfortunately to get the LED light you will have to sacrifice the look.

Those cheaper lights may create some RF interference in the audio systems SOMETIMES. You may start hearing some clicking,excessive static or even buzzing thru your audio. They have also been known to wipe out any and all FM signal that you may have had if you listened to the radio from time to time

Just a little FYI

That looks like a brand called Sunpie. Before Yooperhog helped me fix my charging system issues I was thinking about switching to LEDs to save current draw, but I listen to my FM radio all the time. Because I live a good ways from the town called Middle of Nowhere I can only get about four or five stations clearly and that is with the steel whip antennas form an 08 Ultra. I have heard that putting toroid chokes on the power wire of the headlight will help, but I'm hesitant to take a chance.
GS if you happen to think about it try the FM radio and see if you can recall if there is any difference. I have seen some modules that plug inline with the power lead going to the light but I suspect they are just fancy chokes.
I like the idea of the space savings, but if I put any more weight under my fairing I'm probably going to have to run a truck tire up front...

Have you tried any of the radio apps on your phone and bluetooth to your radio?
Also to be honest I really don't like fooling with my phone while riding. I like being able to just push a button on my handlebar and get to what I want. I guess that's another reason I like the stock head unit, there is not a single function on my head unit that I need to take my hands off of the hand grips for. I can even adjust bass, treble, fader, and select from seven sources just with my thumbs.
