More expensive,  but LED is the way to go.  Less power required and longer life is expected,  plus all reports I have read indicate night riding with the LED is far and away the best.

I have LED installed on mine,  but have not yet taken an extended nite cruise to comment personally.

Who makes LED for FLTRs?

I get confused with the various model Harleys.......Not sure if your FLTR has a normal (large) 7" headlite or maybe smaller?

If it's the 7" like on my SE Ultra,  then you can buy it straight from Harley.  Go to your favorite HD store and they'll fix you up.  I think they make the smaller one too.  Plus they also have the 4 1/2" size in LED for the passing/aux. lamps too.

They are $$$$$ pricey,  but (hard to believe),  but buying them from Harley might get ya the best (still expensive) price.   Those units are made by JW Speaker Co.

Click on that site,  and it will show ya both the chrome and black versions of the 7" LED lite.

There is also another LED lite called (Trucklite),  that some have installed.   It has a totally different look about that I don't care for, but it still is LED and performs well too.  

   Here is a good write-up on the two of them with pictures...............check it out.
