Here's what I can tell you about some Harley Edition lights I bought from Headlights Depot.

I bought these.


I should have listened to @SkySkiJason ....they SUCK!!!!

But I'll fix them with these.

There is some information in the Tech Folder regarding lighting and upgrades, but nothing inclusive of all the options because there are too many.

I don't know how I could combine the threads or information into a format that is relevant and makes sense...

I am open to ideas or suggestions though...

I think the thread you linked above would be a great start. Probably because it outlines what I did, and of course that is the best for everyone.

Yeah the technology is changing so fast a sticky or Tech Folder post will be obsolete 5 minutes after posting. Better to keep inquiries and answers current imo.
