good idea . We are using led lights on many of the mine vehicles and they are excellent
But I couldn't justify the $850 for the pair , the ones I was looking at we're chrome HD for a sportster.

I went on the JW web site and found the generic version of the Daymaker, if anyone can find an outlet for this model, let me know, I'd try it on my Thunderbird

I figure I'm gonna try it along with my installer who does my stereos and whatnot .........but I will keep you informed on any mods or if it don't work all together

I'm looking for more light for safety reasons, I live in an area where on my trip to town I see an average of 2 deer, I've hit 2 deer before with my truck and don't want to experience it on my T-bird.....we tried installing HID's but had no place to put the ballast, so I don't like driving lights and this is my "last" option ......LED gives off WAY more light then your average headlight and its my alternative to HID's ........I guess bike mags don't consider different strokes for different folks
BTW both deer were hit during the winter on snow covered roads

| | Posted : 24 Jan 2014 - 17:25 Post title : Re: Daymaker Headlight (Re: Terota66) | | | Why not a set of AUX lights? Something that lights up the sides of the road in addition to whatever you do the main beam?
I have the same issue every Tues in summer returning from work. 30 miles thru unlighted backcountry roads thru deer territory.
Additional front lights has shown to be a workable solution for me.
Sometime soon I'm sure somebody will have on installed on their bike and we'll have a firsthand report.

I love my Motolights. They can make them attach anywhere but most of them are mounted on the front brake caliper and light up the road beautifully. They come in black, chrome, brushed satin and mounted there don't bother uncoming drivers. Even the bulbs have a lifetime warrany.

I priced them at my local Harley dealership ($470) each and a no return policy, and they're on backorder for 6 weeks.so I guess I'm gonna try J.W. and see how things go there ........
plus the other problem is the HD logo in the middle of the light

| | Posted : 29 May 2014 - 14:29 Post title : Re: Daymaker Headlight (Re: metalb00) | | | Hey guys, I am new to this forum, but wanted to thank you all for this post. Due to pure stupidity on my part, I cracked the OEM headlight glass while washing my 2013 T-Bird 1600. I didn't want to spend the $230 USD Triumph wanted for another sub-par Hella lamp and was looking for better lighting options. Thanks to this post, I got brave and bought an H-D Daymaker and couldn't be happier! It was super easy to mod/install! Literally one little bracket in the rim of the lamp housing needs to be bent (with your fingers). Then the lamp settles in and you can use the original wire clips just as metalb00 suggested. The new Daymakers even have the parking light which was cool. The only H-D markings I can see are a tiny bar and shield logo over the parking light bulb. It is barely noticeable. Anyway, thanks again for the info. I am very happy with my new lamp!
BTW, the driving lights are fork mounted Kuryakyn LEDs. They are a nice addition as well and their color/temp matches well with the Daymaker.
