    Is anybody running the new HD 7" Headlight on their ride?

    I see there are threads releating to the older 5 3/4 unit and or aftermarket units.

    If so, how do you find it at night?

    Running the 5 3/4 light in my Dyna. A bit pricey, but worth it IMO. Especially travelling late at night on dark roo infested roads! Looked at the HID option, would have been a little cheaper, but didn't want to have to hide the ballast, and hi-lo selection can be tricky. Also Harley Heaven will match US price. This was easy plug and play. Only thing is, the FXDWG is stated as the only dyna it DOESN"T fit, I though "Bullshit, no reason why it shouldn't fit" and bought it anyway. They're right, it doesn't fit!!! Well, not easily. I did get it to fit after some expletives....so there HD!

    It does throw a strange light pattern, not what I was used to with the standard light, with a very sharp cutoff and very wide, but I got used to it. Much better visibility and penetration. I believe the 7" version is significantly better than the 5,3/4.
