Default Kuryakyn LED headlight and passing lamps installed

Just came in a few days ago from Eastern Performance and finally had a chance to install them this afternoon. Install was a snap on both. Passing lamps is was a matter of take the old ones out and put the new ones in. Headlight was just as easy. Remove the trim ring, remove the headlight housing and install the new headlight. Don't even have to mess with the adjusters. Took it for a real quick ride down the road and the difference is incredible over stock. Actually with the passing lamps and low beam I can't see a need for high beam. Truth be told the high beam doesn't really add alot to the equation. But I will reserve full judgment on that after some good ride time. Can't wait until I get a chance to get some real ride time with these torches.

As of now the only remaining incandescent lights I have are the rear tour pak signals. But that will be changing soon.

Here are a few pics. I also picked up the Kury LED trim ring but left the LED ring out for now as it calls for installation over 50° due to the adhesive. Nowhere near that today. It actually looks fine w/o the LED ring but I will go back and add it when it warms up.












UPDATE:

Finally got the LED part of the trim ring installed. Not sure how I like it yet but it is different.

Looks god man.

I'm on the fence with the HD/JW Speaker light and the Kury/Truck-Lite one.

Couple of fellas here did a bang up review on the both of them. Just a lot of money right now.

Do you have any angle shots/long distance shots? Daytime visibility is just as important to me as night time brightness.

Thanks

No pics but I went back about 100' and stood at a 45° angle and could still see the lights bright. No worries on daytime visibility. In fact IMO the Truck Lite lights have better daytime visibility than the JW/HD. That was a strong selling point for me.

Same thoughts here.

Do you reuse the stock passing lamp housing and cables or do you replace it all?
