I bought mine primarily for daytime visibility. You can clearly see the difference between stock incandescent bulbs and LED bulbs.<br />

In this pic, I've swapped out the left passing lamp for an LED unit. The right passing lamp and headlight are still the original OEM bulbs:<br />

After all three bulbs have been converted to LED:<br />

As a side note, I always run with my high-beams on during the day and I've wired my passing lamps to illuminate regardless of the high-beam switch.
There's no doubt that the new LED offerings are brighter and draw less amperage which makes your alternator very, very happy! :D
I'm also in the process of changing the various lights on my Wing over to LED as well. ThumbUp
i have done this conversion on both my neighbors bikes they love it for all riding day and night
I know this is an old thread but I have swapped every HD headlight for a Custom Dynamics One since 2013. Also passing lamps, turn signals and rear brake/run light . I believe in the adage see and be seen! The LED from Custom Dynamics is far superior to the HD bulbs . Best price I could find was from Direct Cycle parts in texas
