I wouldn't go anywhere without my Phase 7 headlamp. Interesting that you didn't need the load equalizer...

I stand corrected, I do need the equalizer.  Signals worked or blinked fast ranfomly.  Installed the inexpensive kury resistor in the fsiring, splicef into the wires.

I tried not using an equalizer with the same experience with the random  fast blink of the turn signals.  I spliced a Kuryakyn equalizer in and still had some issues.  I got the SS8 module from Custom Dynamics and had no issues in over two hours riding today.

So people are taking out the daymaker and replacing it with trucker lights? Any links to these trucker lights? You would think spending 35k on a Harley they would  put some decent lights on it.  I purchased a 2015 SG Mercury and was disappointed by the lights at night, I do like the minimalist look of the SG but definitely need to improve the lighting.

The guys who made the changes do you mind posting some night shots of your current setup, especially with the trucker lights.
thanks

BTW, on Custom Dynamic sight it says the 2015 CVO models do not need the equalizer.

I have the trucker lights and they are a HUGH improvement over the stock lights!

I bought a Streetglide, not an Ultra.

Given that I ride at night only about 1% of the time it is hard to justify the cost anyway. Plus, my high beams work pretty darn good.

I put the passing lights on my SGS out of necessity.  Country roads at night.  At first I didn't like the look that much.  But with the Custom Dynamic turn signals and then i put the curved trim rings on the passing lights, look finally got me, but different strokes.  I transferred the lights to the CVO and will put some pictures up at the end of the week.

While ridding at night presents a few challenges, with the proper lighting, awareness, it can be very comfortable, (cooler) and very enjoyable.  And I try to ride at least once every two weeks at night, i believe in keeping up the night proficiency.  Bottom line don't do it if you aren't comfortable and don't do it unless you have the lights and they are adjusted correctly.

Are these the lights?

Yes, this is the same headlamp on my SG.  It is also the same one Kuryakan sells for 3X more.
