Sorry I do not have pictures... and I know that is a pain   :nixweiss: ... however, I did install the new Harley LED lights on my CVO Convertible. I went from the stock bulb that was original equipment and found it was not near enough light.  :( Went to the HD upgraded bulb and it was much better, however, I wanted more and a concentrated pattern.  :-\ I then went to the PIAA bulb that was, I believe the 100/110 watt.   ;D Great light but the pattern was all over the place. Sure was visible going down the road though it still did not have the concentrated pattern I was looking for. ;D ;D Finally pulled the trigger on the new Harley LED... it has everything I was looking for.  :orange: Awesome pattern, brighter cleaner light, and I could actually see down the road. Much wider pattern that covers all angles and a concentrated beam way out front. I highly recommend it.   :coolblue: Expensive... but sure makes riding at night a lot easier!
:thumbsup: I figured that you would like it a lot. Ive seen some of the streetlights that have been installed in Seattle as test lights. walking from an area that has a halogin to the LED lite area is kind of eerie, but the after you get over that the light color is almost daylight. Expensive, yes but its made to plug in with no problems i take it.

I just installed the new LED passing lights. Very white and bright.  Also stupidly expensive!! My Harley LED headlight will be in this week. Also over priced but what the hell. I also just installed Motolights on the calipers. I have been riding Harleys for 40 years and I will never own one again without Motolights!! These things are amazing. I got the 50 watt bulbs and you can see me coming from a half mile away!!  I also just ordered a Bright ass tail light.

I was at the local dealership and the parts counter girl said she was surprised at how well they are selling considering the price. She is the person who first pointed it out to me, when I asked about HID lighting. She did say they looked ugly and they were too expensive.


She said the dealership has sold 5 headlights since the new catalog came out......all to baggers.

Sounds as if they were 'hedging their bets' on those when they printed the catalog.  :oops: spyder

Trent,

How does it look on the ConV? I have the same ride and I am ready to pull the trigger on this one but I am worried that it might make the already small headlight look even smaller. I think the 5 3/4" headlight is already a bit to small for the scale of the hertitage styled font end of this bike. A pic would really help here if you get the chance.

I put a set (all 3 lights) on my 2011 CVO Street Glide. They are definitely an improvement in terms of brightness and color. The most noticeable difference is that there is a distinct crisp edge to the lighted area. Riding behind a VW Beetle the entire rear of the car below the back window was lighted, the rear window had no light on it at all.
Distance is not much different, but clarity of what is lighted is a lot different. I did not have ongoing drivers flashing high beams at me, so they are apparently not blinding which is a good thing.
Are they worth $1,000?  I suppose that's a question each individual will have to answer for themselves. I'm impressed enough that I'm thinking of putting a set on my '06 Street Glide too.
