LED Is there possibly a new option?
« on: August 21, 2012, 09:48:24 PM »

Based on the pictures I have seen of the new 2013 Road Glide Custom CVO the MoCo now has an LED headlight option of its own.  It is exactly what I have been waiting for.  A MoCo solution that looks great and should be a great improvement over the stock lighting that should be a direct replacement for many Road Glides.  So this morning I called my parts guru at our local dealer and asked him to do some research.  Find the part numbers, pricing and any other available information.  I'm sure this is will take some time to surface but I have waited over a year for this day.

There are 2 options now from Harley Davidson. Black and Chrome:  $699.  There are a few threads here in the Road Glide Custom, SERG and Electronic Toys ans Gadgets boards about them.   You can also see them now on the Harley website.  Employees at the dealership are usually the last to know.

If I understand your statement there is currently a MoCo solution to add LED headlights on their website or in the P&A catalog.

If I'm not mistaken there is a SEARCH function on this site and the Motor Company site.
Try it, it works, at both places.
That's how I found this,

I appreciate your help, apparently you're just much better at this than me.  I'm headed to my parts counter to stand in line to place my order.

thanks again, October is not that far off, compared to how long everyone has been discussing this.

Dealer attempted to order for me and it is BO until Oct '12 just as stated.  I will wait patiently, seems like Lake Shore HD has the best pricing but did not list the Black and Chrome model yet.

I gotta say I am SHOCKED at the price! Sorry, I just can't justify it.

I just replaced the MoCo originals with PIAA replacement bulbs. They have excellent output without crashing the bank account. They even allow you to select different color range for the bulbs. Be sure to purchase H4 bulbs rated in the 60/55 Watt range. (They will have the output equivalency of a bulb rated at 135/125 Watts.

The cost on Amazon was approx $37.00 each. After installation and reaiming the headlights, I am very happy with the output. I am also happy I didn't have to spend about $600 more for LED headlamps.

BTW . . . There were no modifications needed for this install.

X2 on this. When I bought my sergu used back in April it already had these installed. Riding next to my buddy at night (sergu also) there's no comparison. I would say they give me as much light as the HIDs I have in all of our trucks. Money well spent.  :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks OhioBellBoy . . .

BTW . . . Has anyone ever told you that you have quite possibly one of the finest motorcycles that HD has ever built. Of course I am not prejudiced in  any way shape or form

I have waited this long, a few more weeks will pass soon.
I like the look of the Harley LED's.
Have two sets on order.
