Default HID or LED?

Anyone know of, or put an HID/LED headlamp on a Forty Eight yet (in the stock sized headlamp)? If so I'd love to get some info on options.

I've been running the Trucklite LEDs on another bike and absolutely love them.

Even with the wide front end and kinda fat tire, still looks too big to me.

Your bike doesn't look like a Sportster to begin with...
