Default -Need advice on new headlights for our 2011 CVO RG Ultra

As title says, we're looking to upgrade

I just put in the custom dynamics LED turn signals up front and boy howdy they're sure making my stock headlights look all kindsa' 1970's now.

I've seen everything from just changing the bulbs to new housings that include both headlights

However, I'm a big fan of real-world usage so please chime in, what have you tried that'w worked? Budget is a consideration obviously but if the product is that good, it's usually worth the $$

For example...are these anygood?

Again, please chime in
Thanks

........ these are knock-off Daymakers, heard they fit & work well, for how long, who knows..

.... i went w/the MoCo Daymakers & am quite pleased.... & the little lit bar & shield in the middle makes a nice accessory light when parked.

For what its worth, you can get 20% off the daymakers at Board Tracker, I can tell you they are well worth it.

Plus, how can you put a price tag on those cool little HD logos that come on when the bike is in accessory mode?

I have the Daymakers and love them. Incredible difference between the stock and the Daymakers (I have a 2012 RGU so no stock LEDs). And the high beams light up the road. Pricey but great. Not sure about the clones.

I have 3 roadglides,
2 have HD daymakers, (chrome cash baby)
The other has stock headlamps
The 2 with daymakers are ridden extensively at night, the third is a daytime only bike.
I am positioning to try the unbranded daymakers off ebay for less than $200.
If you ride at night you want daymakers, it's that simple

For us Roadies, nothing works better then the Daymakers LEDs!!!

They are even brighter then the 2015 RG/RGS LEDs.

Had the day makers on my 11. Now I have a 16 RGS. There is a difference. But it's only really in the way the new ones cast the light. The older ones are projective while the new ones are reflective. I prefer the new ones over the old especially when I need my high beam at night. The old ones shot an intense beam straight ahead. The new ones equal the distance but flood a wider span so it's not just lighting up the direct path but the shoulders too. It's going to be a Ford chevy thing here. We all like different aspects of different things. One thing we agree on. Get day makers. I know money is a concern but I think in the long run buying the HD ones is piece of mind.
