Default Switchback passing light mount

Anyone know where I can get a reasonable mount for led passing lights for a switchback? Also what led head light and passing light do you recommend to get the best bang for my buck.

HD part # 68000051 comes without bulbs. Excellent "How To Install" thread on the Switchback forum. I put Truck-Lite bulbs in mine.

I'd like to put halo led headlight and passing lights but problem is a bracket to mount it. Are the truck lures better than the daymaker version?

Hi, my headlight is custom dynamics. I can't say much about the truck lites I bought them for the price and other peoples reviews. I don't really ride at night but I did once to try them out. The headlight is awesomely bright, the passing lights not so but I think they are aimed too low and you need a slotted socket that I don't have to adjust them. The headlight fits the Switchback without any extra trim ring and the Auxiliary passing lamp kit is an easy install and provides for moving the turn signals to the bottom of the aux light bracket. I am happy with the setup, helps the old time look of the Switchback.

Are you looking for a light bar to mount it to the bike or light housings? You could spend the $310 and get the kit that Robert mentioned or you could go with a traditional light bar offered by Drag Specialties (Chrome Light Bar) for $99 and pick up a set of (4.5" Chrome Passing Lamps) for around another $113. When cross referencing parts compatibility, the kit that Robert suggested not only fits the Switchback but also fits the FLTSF (Softail Fat Boy), the light bar I suggested Drag says fits the Fat Boy also, which tells me it also fits the Switchback, so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to use the items I suggest.


I have the same light bar and housings on my bike (but in black) and they are really good quality parts. I did replace all my lights with some eBay LED specials, there decent and well worth what I paid for them.

I know it's not a Switchback, but I do have it setup using the Softail Light bar so I can mount my batwing that is made to fit the Softail (Heritage, Fat Boy or Slim).

Good options there. I would mention that the HD aux light kit is only $252 plus $5.00 shipping at Boardtracker. A good place for harley parts. All much cheaper than from harley.
