Default new headlight bulb fitment?

Anyone got one of these?

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more.../Photos&Videos

If so any trouble making it fit in the 2016 stock 48 housing?

Also did you notice the same effect as this guy?
"The only drawback is that the light isn’t as fully illuminated for daytime riding as it was with the halogen bulb"

The only guy mentioning it for a Sportster said this-

Great product, tight fit
Bought this for my girlfriends' 2014 Harley IRON883. The install was easy but putting the lens back in the housing was a pain. I don't recommend it if you're not a DIY'r. I got lucky and magically found a sweet spot for it to be crammed in there stayed in place long enough to put the trim ring around it. the connector from the LED and the connector from the Harley make it near impossible to fit.

I don't have the Wisamic LED headlight, I bought the Sunpie version on Amazon. Think they're all the same though. It's been 4 months now, and it's working fine. Harley's version can't be $350 nicer... $400 for a headlight, that's insane.

I'd be careful dealing with Superbrightleds, they have a bad reputation. I was warned and bought from them anyway. First order was correct, second one they sent the wrong bulbs AND admitted it. Had to fill out several return forms, and they had to be absolutely correct or they would not be honored. I did all that, was notified they had been received and correctly filled out and... they kept my money. After about half a dozen e-mails and no response, I gave up. Granted it was only about $20, but it was MY $20.

Invest in something better. It doesn't have to be a daymaker but avoid that. However, im very happy with my daymaker.

The Daymaker/Wisamic/Sunpie, etc... may no longer be 'leading technology', but they're still light years ahead of the pathetic halogen headlight that comes from the factory.
