Hi all,

First, the bike is a 2013 Softail Deluxe (FLSTN).

I have installed Custom Dynamics/Pro Beam LED Running, Brake and Turn Signals rear and front. So far I can say I like the lights. They are much brighter than the stock setup.

I'm now looking at the headlight and passing light replacements.
I've read comments saying they were too bright causing issues for on-coming traffic.
I've read comments saying there are holes in the light pattern...dark spots.

But then, I have read several glowing reviews...Pretty much saying the are the best possible setup.

I'm just looking for honest opinions from anyone who has used them.

This is what I'm looking at

Thanks for the replies guys.
Good point on proper adjustment. I know how much some peoples lights bother me and I don't want to be that guy.
Interesting take on the perceived holes. I imagine with proper adjustment all three lights that can be minimized as well.

It's just a lot of coin for 3 lights to be disappointed and go back to the stock setup.

Well, my bike is a 2013. All the incandescent lights have already been changed to LED...HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!

All that's left is the Halogen Headlight and Halogen Passing lights. If the improvement is equal to the other lights, it would be worth it. If it is only a moderate improvement...I'm not so sure.

I found a youtube video showing the difference between a Custom Dynamics and an Eagle LED headlight.
Starting at 6:45 into the video, it shows the difference. The Eagle unit used has holes in the coverage, the Custom Dynamics does not.
If I decide to spend the coin, it will be the CD offering
