I have thought about adding a set of running light like on my ultras don't know if they will work. I did notice a bracket on a seuc in dealership today on the blacked out one. They looked pretty nice don't know if you can get them in chrome.

I haven't saw them in person but these look nice and keep the clean look of the Street Glide front end.......   http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go/Home.ProductDetail/catID/8/scID/86/IMID/3

Or you could just change out to an HID head light.

Well bro mine are! I went with the HID kit from Xeonlink in August of 2008 preparing for a road trip to Northern CA. The first leg of the trip was Friday night with a stop in Vancouver WA out in the woods-you know that pitch black darkness? My pal, Vinny was leading since he had been there before and at a stop sign he signals me up to yell at me because "my effin airplane landing lights are blinding me!" Knock on wood zero issues since and total mileage just passed 10K last week with these HID lights on for over 7K since August, 2008. JMHO

Ride Safe!

I also find the headlights very poor. I'm thinking about trying PIAA bulbs. Are they a H7 and H11 bulbs? In the manual they just give a harley part number.

I went with Headwinds driving lamps/turn signal set.  Look incredible (IMHO) and do help with night diving.  The angle of illumination is much wider and brighter vs. just stock light.

Looked online and can't find them. I found an H7 but that was about it.
