I have H-D's LED's. The headlight alone at night is amazing. The high beam during bright sunlight catches attention, even in rear views ("Dude, your headlight is BRIGHT."). It's just a matter of determining if you want to spend that much for a headlight.

I bought my 06 fatboy last november. 1st night ride I went on I quickly realized the headlight on this bike was almost useless.
the next day I bought a H4 silverstar ultra bulb at autozone & installed ---suggested by the local HD shop.
I was shocked at the difference------ I am completely satisfied with my headlight now. I assume the bulb was a stock one as the bike only had 3k miles---maybe it was a bad bulb---I don't know -----the difference was unbelievable.

Best $7 ever spent. Kuryakn has a set of auxillary blue lights that are at my local dealer. They were $40 I think.... I can't ride in front of my wife's Heritage if she has those on.... I'm seriously blinded by them!!!!

ya I think thats definitely the best deal Spydyr ,went looking around and I think some places are charging $40 to $50 for the same ones !!?
The other ones seem a little pricey as SprungDave has said in a few years might try them out !
Thanks for your comments!
I also came across these , anybody tried the Black Dot lights or heard of them , I think they will look cool as well???

Yup, I agree. My Heritage has six lights up front, all stock.

Having a brighter main light might not be a bad idea though.
