LED Lights for a Street Glide - Style and Visability
#22
So did you just install the headwinds bulb into the stock headlight? If so, did it affect your daytime visibility from extreme angles? I read that many people were having issues with poor angle visibility when swapping LED bulbs due to the reflector in the lamp not being designed for use with LED bulbs.
I'm looking to upgrade my headlight but am not interested in dropping half a grand. If I read the headwinds site correctly, a bulb for the headlight would cost me about $100.
Thanks

There's about a million posts about LED lighting. Generally speaking, there are four options. Option 1 is get the Harley Daymaker reflector style headlight and Daymaker spots. Very pricey, but some claim they're the best, better than option 2: TruckLites Phase 7's. The headlight closely resembles the Daymaker (except the center bar is black, not silver), and the spots are mirrored on the bottom third. I myself use these and like them very much and all three were only $338 IIRC from Amazon. Option 3 is a LED replacement bulb, and option 4 is HID lighting. I have no experience with either, but my research says that the reflector in the headlight doesn't work well with the LED bulb since it disperses light differently than the stock bulb. HID lights requires an additional physical component to be mounted somewhere. This is for a Glide? Your sig pic is a Bob?

Yeah it goes right into the stock housing. No cutting of wires plugs right in. It is to me IMO the most brightest and most noticeable light. Does not matter what angle you will see them. I have not gone riding once with them where someone has not commented on how bright they are, not once. Looking at the image above you can see how the pattern of light is consistent across the entire front of the bike. There is no black spots or missing spots where light is not hitting. That is the correct price. Well made in the USA.
Awesome, thanks! This has now moved to the top of my to-do list.
