Had two RG's without. My last one a 2013 Ultra I had the Daymaker installed before I took delivery. Major difference. I have been running LED headlights since the TL Phase 6 and will not go back to standard halogen bulbs.

I installed HID's from http://www.harleyhids.com/

They are much better than stock & less expensive than daymakers

I never found the stock lighting a problem but I have excellent night time vision I guess.
That said, the LED Pic a few posts above... those look friggin awesome.

May have to try them next time. Come on new Road glide.... Can't wait!

I found a used TruckLite LED for my 09 Ultra. $100 and it works soooo much better than the stocker. About 600 kms now and no probs.

From what you say here, I would say that your headlights need to be adjusted. It will make a world of difference. I am sure though that the Daymakers are much better than the halogens, but even they will need to be adjusted correctly.

NIGHT and DAY difference!!!!

Worth the big coin that they cost. Like others have said, check out the online discount dealers for them.

All my bros now want to ride behind me at night because their that good, and because I now blind them in their mirrors if their in front of me.

From posts on here I have read you cant even see the truck lites during the day from an angle. This is a big concern for me, people in cars not being able to see your light coming down the road while they are sitting at a cross road.
