Default LED Headlight for Sportster 1200

I have to replace the cover on my headlight and figured I would just buy a new LED headlight instead (any excuse to upgrade).

Obviously it is hard to choose one without seeing it on the bike and seeing how bright it is. Does anyone have any suggestions on brands that are good? I have heard the Harley one is not very good and I am guessing it is overpriced as it is a Harley product.

Was also considering getting a 2 headlight set like on Fatbob but haven't found ones for the Sportster.

If you have LED headlights I would love to see pics as it would help with the decision making process. Or just links to suggested ones.

Thanks in advance.

As for the HD LED I heard it works fine BUT it is overpriced - I will bump this thread as I would also like to know if there are others that work good and are more reasonably priced..

Thanks for all the pics. It does like very good. As for the info it was someone's opinion and so can only be taken with a grain of salt.

Having had it installed for a while and based on the price, would you buy it again?
