yes....i had one of these installed on my new street glide and i really like it. another really big plus is besides the functionability is the cool factor. this is a really bright cool looking headlight.

 

Led

Did you have any problem with the bucket making LED fit?Also on the LED it says you need 3.5 amps to work right,stock could be 5-6 amps. any problems with this? thanks

Shouldn't hurt anything. Led draws less power. Once you do led turn signals and such you'll need a load equalizer.

 

good write up /review just ordered mine for the street glide

 

How much they run ? Iam useing the 80-100 and it a bright sum-bitch..they are $20.00 bucks...but might think about trying one on my fatboy....

 

I used the $20.00 hologen white bulbs too! Before I got this headlamp, I got mine for around $375, I was a skeptic before I had it and could never justify that much money for a headlight but after using it for about 3 months, It is well worth every penny spent IMO. If you know someone or even go up to a dealership for a demonstration, you will see what I am talking about. It doesn't compare to anything I have ever seen! Love it!

I just installed the Daymaker on the RoadGlide.
Expensive,:eek but worth every penny IMHO.:nod

 

Yap, I agree Vet, I wish I could explain it better but I guess people just need to try it for themselves. Before I could never justify paying that money, after I will never own a bike that doesnt have it. I know lots of others who are the same way too, Gotta get a demonstration to see

 

Same here. I think the Daymaker headlamp rocks. I have had people flash me during the DAYTIME to turn my high beam off...it works!

 

Thank you for the write up; I am about to get one for my FXDC because the stock headlight does not cut it on dark roads. And the LED looks so cool!

I have heard about the lack of side beam efectiveness before; but I guess the rest of it makes up for it?

Also concerned about angry cagers (see below). If you angle it down a bit will it calm them?
Thanks!

 

Installed the Daymaker myself. Wife got it for me for Christmas. It is pretty amazing.

HD LED daymaker headlight

Just installed daymaker on my wife's wide glide trike, had to do a little dremel work to make it fit,no problem. looks great and works great,best light ever! I also have one on my fatboy. Only two problems one, dust and smug on inside had to return first one, fatboy also has dust on inside which you only see when light is on. Two,on my fatbot I could secure light with the inside mount ring using pop rivets instead of screws so you would need a drill to steal it,but on wide glide no inner mount ring so only one screw holds it in ,very easy to steal $400.+ headlight! Might try a security screw? good luck! I think they are worth the money.

 

What's the hammer for? LOL!

 

Hahaha!! How did that get their! Oh, when u go to install, You have to beat the front glass to get it in, I remember now

Seriously though, I'm thinking about getting one for my Fat Boy Lo...

 

Thought about getting one a few months ago but I seem to remember someone complaining of short life which put me off. With a conventional light if it fails you can replace the bulb (with the spare you carry in the tool roll of course). What do you do if the LED fails far from home at 1am? Are both beams LED?

 

I've had mine less than a year and so far no problems. Both beams are LED. I love the increased performance on the road. I've not seen any concrete examples of failures but maybe it's more prevalent in the US.

Major brightness. I do hope it lasts. Most LEDs in other machinery in the industrial enviroment does last. I can see a lot better at night. In my area there are small herds of deer so now I can see them when they give me that "deer in the headlight look"

I have the Daymaker on my FXDC and it lights up the road real well. It is pricey tho.

Im installing on my 2011 fxdwg, what is the extra red wire for. I have no wires other then the factory plug for the bulb.

 

There's a small bar and shield on the face of the DayMaker that lights up if that wire is connected to 12v.

Touring models have that extra connection. Cruiser models do not.

 

Have this on the Night Train and Love it. The reliability of LEDs versus Halogen are well known, these headlight should outlast any 6 Halogen bulbs, and out perform 2 of them. I usually replace every bulb I can with LEDs, but I havn't gone that route with the Harley yet.
