    Ok, I have been wanting to do this for a while now and now I have it done. I have added the HD DayMaker LED headlights to my beloved Road Glide. It was a pretty straight forward install, pretty painless actually. Here are a few pictures with my headlights installed. :cool:

    Roadies look good with them. EG's not so much unless you do the spots too.

    Your headlight bucket needs to be adjusted(down) a bit to re-aim the light....Service manual has the how to:)

    Johnny you need a specific socket, get a tall 4.5 mm socket to adjust the height.

    Na, I am going to mess with it for the time being. These light I think are angled just right, if it does get to a major issue then of course I will do something but until then. :D

    I would have to say that you know that your lights are really bright when you can see the light bouncing off of the signs in the day time. I got a lot of compliments on those lights as far as their looks go. :cool:

    you come up on a cop or fire department vehicle, lights them
    up like a christmas tree...

    One of the really neat features that about these lights and it isn't anything real special, just neat, is the fact that when you have your accessories switch on, then the two HD logos light up. I like that, kind of neat.

    Hell Yes, and it looks pretty cool too. People around here really like them a lot that is for sure. I just stopped at a friends place and they there were some people there and they kept commenting on the headlights. Way cool!!!
