Default 15 FLHXS headlight

What is everyone running for a headlight? the stock one sucks. I have adjusted and it is better but you can over drive at 65mph speed limit, and forget dim, you cant see ****




Looking at Harley daymaker but do you do projection or reflector? pros and cons? I've read some about the truck lite? and HID bulbs in factory housing.


Whats best option and price/place to get?

Default HD Day Maker

I switched my 2015 FLHXS headlamp out for the HD Daymaker. Payed up for it too. It is a BIG improvement, but there could be better aftermarket solutions. Mine works fine for me as I don't ride at night except when I have to. Too many dear on the road in my part of the country. On the other hand I dont think you can over light up your bike for viability even during day light. My next front end addition will be a running light bar.

I've heard that the trucklite is better for your visibility. And way cheaper than the daymaker. I use a bulb that I got from ebay or amazon, can't remember which one. I have no complaints whatsoever with it. The part number was MT15-3F if that helps. I almost never get cut off or have people pull out in front of me, which are both big problems here in South Florida. Also, I have no problems seeing at night

I run the HD Daymaker reflector. Ordered it through Manchester Harley Superstore for considerably less than MSRP. I like it. It is not without shortcomings, but it looks good and works well.
