I just installed the light/halo ring on my '09 FLHX works great.

 

That looks great.

 

"My own patch of sunshine" is correct! I have only been flashed once and it was by a semi driver.

 

Update: Got in the driving lights for my bike (now a 2011 FLHTK) and the wifes (2004 FLSTC) to fix the yellow snow problem - I am VERY happy with both the looks and the performance.

For other Canadians, they just weren't available at any of the dealers in this area, had to go on line and purchase - got a good deal, less than Kuryakyn list - delivered price worked out to $100.25 per light - from the shop below (located in New York) - they shipped USPS so no hassles with the UPS service charges, and even though they did make an error in shipping (sent me only 2 instead of the ordered 4) they fixed it very quickly and had the remaining 2 in my hands at no additional cost within a week. Very happy with their service and will be dealing with them again.

I noticed that the comparison was originally with the Custom Dynamics passing lites but the updated one used the ones from Kuryakyn. I'm curious how the CD compare to the Kury's as I have some CD LEDs already and was considering those.

Are the Kury ones better somehow or were they not compared?

 

@ Homebrew101 -

CD Sun Spots [CD] vs Truck-Lite [TL] (aka Kuryakyn)

- list for the CD is $10 more
- CD is an array of 162 LEDs vs TL has 8 high power LEDs
- CD is a true flood pattern vs TL is more focused, but still a flood
- CD comes with bare end wires vs TL with H8 plug (plug & play with '05 newer HD passing lamps, minor wiring for pre-'05)
- I actually had 3 versions of the CD lights
-- 1st two caused audio interference on the FM band (only), drowning out the radio completely
-- last version the interference is not completely gone, but tolerable
---- My contact at CD indicates that he has only experienced three bikes reporting interference using the Sun Spots; a bike CD had in the shop ('07 Ultra), mine ('06 Ultra) and a friend who allowed me to use his bike ('06 EG Classic) as an addditional test bed - out of hundreds of sets of lights sold.

They both provide a great deal of white light, improving night vision and daytime visability.

I prefer the TL because of the plug & play and no interference issue.

 

thanks bogie, very helpful for making a choice!

 

I just got the TL headlamp and the passing lamps. the headlamp went in very easy. The passing lamps are a very tight fit. I am having trouble getting the trim rings to fit and I don't trust them to stay on. Can I replace the internal ring with something different? If I leave it out, the lamps are loose.

B-

I installed the passing lamps in 3 bikes - two had the 'frenched' trim rings, one with the stock trim rings. In all cases I found the internal 'nesting ring' (service manual term) to make the fit tight - so I left it out. I was able to tighten the trim rings to make a solid fit with the passing lamps and there has been no sign of movement of either the trim ring or the lamp.

The trim ring really just clamps onto the lamp housing - you'll notice a lip on the housing that the edge of the trim ring fits into - when it's tightened the trim ring should be solid.

If you feel the lamps aren't tight enough - perhaps some foam packing material would solve it.

Not sure how much this helps...

 

That is good to know, I plan on using the truck lite/kuryakyn version in my 1965 mustang fastback
