Very nice Ron. I do like the look of the Harley lights.


I hope that the surgery is nothing serious.

I just installed that same HID kit in my OBS. What light color did you get - 4300K, 5000K, etc? Mine are the 5000K and I ABSOLUTELY love them! With your new housings, it'll be easy cheesy to adjust them. Took me a couple of tries so that I wasn't blinding people (even semis) but I got them dialed in perfectly and can see better than anything I've ever drove before. Wish I would have put them in my SD when I still had it!!!

Congrats!

That's what I found with mine. Took off for Wyoming in the middle of the night. The first 20 miles I blinded everyone I met. Stopped and adjusted them down and then couldn't see anything for the next 20 miles. Adjusted again and found the sweet spot. There's a really wicked stretch of highway in eastern Montana that is notorious for deer. With these headlights, I saw every one of them. Kinda scary actually knowing how many of them were in the ditches and at the edge of the road.

I'm with you on the Moose, Elk, etc up here too. Want as much light as possible in front of me so I have a better chance of seeing of the them.
