I like PIAA bulbs- nice bright white light

 

Since the OP mentioned HID's, I thought I'd ask this question. Has anyone tried this HID unit?

It lists for just under $250 which is less than half what Harley wants for their HID conversion and uses HID for high and low beam. The Harley unit uses HID for low beam only. I think it's more expensive than Harley's duel halogen conversion the OP is asking about but not that bad if it works reliably.

Just wondering!

Thanks to all who replied to my post. I think I will first try to upgrade my bulb and see what improvements I get. Have ruled out going the dual bulb setup from Harley.

 

I was thinking about getting the dual light assembly.....but with all the responses, I'll stay with the current set up on the 09 Ultra and upgrade the bulb...Thanks to all

 

Wise choice. I have it on my CVO and while bright is ok, dim outright sucks. I pondered upgrading the bulbs but have decided to go LED instead.

 

I bought the kit for its daylight brightness and have been impressed with it, though there may be easier and lesser expensive options in the previous posts.

I also added fog lights to the engine guard, the combination is bright as hell in daylight and works more than well at night.

 

I have the dual halogen light on my ultra and have to admit when I first started using it I was disappointed and considered putting the original back on. However, I decided to try adjusting the beam direction and the more I adjusted the better it got. Now I couldn't be happier. I've come to the conclusion that most guys that are having problems with their headlights, probably don't have them adjusted properly. The procedure in the manual is a good start but you have to fine-tune based on your weight, shocks and tire pressures, as well as wear. Adjusting the headlight is very easy.

 

I went to the dual bulb unit and experienced the same thing...After observing where the light was on the road...I adjusted the beam down on the road more and now I am very satisfied with it...I agree I don't think many people take the time to solve an issue...We live in the age where instant gratification is expected.

 

Add a relay with 12 ga wireing,it will make any headlight (except led) brighter.

Me too. I bought the dual halogen and while it is some better than the stock light on my 10 RK, it is not worth the money difference. After reading some of these posts, I will try adjusting it and re-check it.
I also live in the country and deer here are also a problem. The best thing I found to take care of that was the addition of fog lights mounted on my engine guard. They are great to light up the sides of the road and the area immediately in front of the bike.
