The Best HARLEY Davidson HEADLIGHT Upgrade An INSTALLATION For HARLEY Davidson TOURING Motorcycles

- I had been thinking of upgrading my Harley Davidson Headlight on my Electraglide after my most recent trip to Tampa. I noticed that my old style halogen headlight just didn't seem to put out as much light from my harley davidson bagger as I would have wanted any headlight to put out as we were rolling into town by nightfall. While debating on whether or not to upgrade the headlight on my old Harley, it just so happened that I received an email from a representative from a comany called XPCTD who happens to manufacture the daymaker style of headlight for the firment of most Harley Davidson models. This individual invited me to try their product and make a video with it. Beig that I have turned down countless offers like that... I thought since I was already thinking of upgrading the headlight system on my old Harley bagger, I might as well just give this one a shot. Think links to XPCTD products are down below.

Those butt connectors actually have a shrink wrap type insulation on them. Heat 'em up and they'll seal your connections right up 👍
I love the ones I have. Plenty bright!
Thanks, man. I'll do that.
Installed some on my 01Roadking a few months ago, had the same reaction as you when I turned them on that night, could not be more happier.
Rigjt on, man.
I did the hogzworkz leds for my 98 roadking has the same setup as those and made a tremendous difference. Tip is to aim ur passing lights a little bit to the left and right and it really helps light up the ditch and tree lines for any animals that may run out in front of u👍. I paid 220.00 for my kit fyi...
Due to this video, I purchased this set up. I have an '08 Road King Classic. My headlight burnt out and I wanted to upgrade. That same day you put out this video. I went ahead and ordered them and got them in two days. Mine were plug and play. Man the difference these make compaired to the original lighting. Thank you for the videos. Keep it up man
Glad this helped, man!
That’s an upgrade for sure! Congratulations
Exellent Job Brother!😅😅😅
You had me rollin when you broke out the Chanel Locks. Hahaha awww Man.. 😅
God bless you brother!🩸✝️👑
Great job on the trailer can't wait for the premier.
Got the sunpie daymaker (same as harleys daymaker) on all my hd's. Such a difference i can see so well during my 5am commute. Once you put those daymakers in you wont wanna go back to halogen. ( yours have same patern as the daymaker)
That is a BIG DIFFERENCE! Man it is nice when you can see where you are going. Great job your camera woman did tell her to bill you for her work. All the best and Ride Safe
I just grabbed a set for my Road King. Can’t wait to get them installed and try them out. Great video. Thank you Sir. God bless.
I must admit, I was expecting a improvement. But I wasnt expecting sunlight at night☀️☀️☀️ Outstanding Tramp👍
Good move ! Those of us who haven't done light upgrades sure have been thinking about it .
Lights and Brakes are number one most important for a safer ride . Stay safe .
I changed to these on my 04 Road King after getting them for Christmas present. Mine are the chrome version and all 3 had comparable plugs. Funny thing I haven’t even ridden at night to try them but I know they’ll be a great upgrade!
I thought you might like those lights!! Good video, looked pretty easy to install. Be good and be safe!!
WOW! Easy install, nice and bright, and the price is great.
That's beautiful! I'm going to buy them and looking forward to install them. Many thanks Corey!
Still loving your music selections! LED makes a huge difference, inspires confidence on night rides for me.
I have a single headlamp on my 2006 Fat Boy. I bought a led replacement light that is just a 3-sided little stick light and it also works great. Led is awesome! The first one I bought was for my Sportster and the 2nd one was basically the same light. Cheap too.
I Love mine. The group I ride with make me lead at night. I even light up the signs during the day on a sunny day. Nice video I did change the wiring with a kit so my passing lamps stay on with the high beam allows me to turn them on and off at the switch on the dash.
If it weren't for the guy riding behind me into Tampa with the daymaker headlight, I wouldn't have been able to see much. That's what got me thinking.
Big shout out to those Channel Locks! Looks like a job well done. Ride Safe.
Just installed mine today, thanks for the video
Awesome! Good deal!
Looks great Corey! I'm sure you'll enjoy the light level. Cheers! cb
Thanks for the entertaining videos . Keep it up 🤘🏻
Just what I have been looking for. Ordered them today. Thanks for the video!
Glad I could help!
My 14 has the same set up and it is truly night and day from the old style. Makes night riding so much better on those dark country roads.
Sure does!
Since these are LEDs do you need to install a resistor so your battery dont die? Or just plug and play?
After I did a daymaker headlight on my sporty I will never go back. The way they light up a perfect bowl shape across the road. I bought a amazon one for the sporty because I wanted to keep the HD one for my Dyna and it still about as bright as the HD one.
I don't blame for not going back.
What a difference!!!! Love the dramatic music with the new lighting 👍🏼. Well done. Cool 😎
I had to play it up some how. Lol
I just received exact same for my 2012 flhtc this morning installed OMG what an upgrade went out tonight at dark unbelievable
Pretty cool, huh? Made it easier to spot the deer at night while we were in the Ozarks last April.
Awesome 👍,,Walk and Ride in the Light.. Massive Improvement.
I have tried the led headlight what I don't like is the highbeams. I have yet to try one that throws a beam higher and farther down the road like the old bulb style. The ones I tried had a hell of a lot better low beam but switching to high beam was just like blinking your eyes and nothing really changing in the beam pattern. If this does please include it in your review thanks.
First time watching Your channel my son met You this past wknd! Have a day! God Bless You and the family!
Enjoyed meeting Michael. Thanks so much, sir.
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks
That's a good looking light set, looks awesome on the bike!
Sure does, man. Looks like a UFO at night.
Nice job
Nice upgrade 🤘
Great video and great job! Thanks!
Thank you, Sandra.
You are gonna love those lights. Same set up on my 97 Heritage including having to splice and crimp the passing lights.
Very impersive. Glad you took that on, it is also knowing you have people who care. Take care and keep safe on the road.
Great improvement....thanks for sharing......JB..
Those are critter melters! What an improvement, I've got one of the same brand I need to get mounted on my Shadow Sabre. Now I know what to expect, nice!
Im sure they are soooo much brighter and safer. I have been contemplating putting some in my old heritage. I just can't get used to the non-classic look yet.. if they made some that looked like the old tri bar headlight I'd be all over it
Look at JW speaker, they have a classic looking model.
I really enjoy your stuff, and yes, what a HUGE difference in your visual, in order to be as safe as possible we all need great lights, front and back.
Stay safe my brother & keep 2 on the ground!
Like those lights, ordering a set for my 06 Deluxe and if I really like them I’ll get a set for my 01 Electra, at 60 I enjoy your channel and keeping it real, good job keep it up.
Did both my Ultras as soon as I got them. Also did the LED turn signals front and rear and put the module in that tried
Turned my rear turn signals into running lights/ turn signals
Light looks awesome
channel locks!!! best wire crimp ever! awesome video, Saddle Tramp.
I installed the Ciro-3D Vision-X on my 2020 SGS, alls I could say is WoW, it also makes ya stand out during daylight hrs.
Did all the turn signals also, (LED)
Well done, Corey.
Ain't nothing worse than a headlight which does not light up bright enough.
I once used to have a Suzuki DR 750Big. U know, a huge single cylinder adventure bike from the 80ies. The bike was great and able to take real punishment, but its headlight was not even a bad joke. Sometimes had the impression that if I had put a candle in there it might have even been better.
So, weak headlights are a pain in the ass for sure.
Great u found a better one for your E-glide.
It suits it well, I gotta say👍.
Liebe Grüße aus Graz, Oesterreich.

Those look great on your bike and really bright. Thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
Just did a similar upgrade here in Australia using Hoglights products very impressed..👍🏻🇦🇺
Looks great on the bike, like a new machine! Looking forward to the updates on how they hold up.
You and me both!
Great video & early review on your new lights.
Thanks for sticking around and watching!
LED lights are amazing! Use next to no juice and give twice as much light! A must have IMO for bikes that get used :)
wow they do make a difference. now you're ready for another road trip 👍. good vid
Now they just need to send you new indicators to match. Nice upgrade 👌🏻
Missmissppi
What?
Looks like the new lights work real good. I had a guy stop me and ask about the lights on my Harley. I never gave the lights much thought until that guy.
Right on
Just ordered a set for my dads road king hope he likes them, and thank you for the install video, should be a breeze!
Hope you enjoy it!
Very nice, definitely looking forward to a update when you put some more miles on them
Wow that was a big difference and looked pretty easy to install too.
Sure was. Now I can be seen from space!
That was a great improvement over the front of the bike, cleaned it up with the dark background of lights, XPCTD really did there home work on plug-n-play for the do it yourself project, Think😂 Bob Vella sponsor a garage build🤷.
Ordered a set today. Get them tomorrow for my 2009 Road King. Thanks for the reminder. Been on my mind for a while too. 👊🏼
Good deal, Man!
Totally updated you front end,,,Love the wire crimpers,,,
Howdy Man. Another good video. Thanks Man looking good.
nice I definately need an upgrade too, stock head light on 2021 flht dont light up the road for shit i was impressed with big difference these made for you
Wow. They work great. I will be getting some. Wow. That company knows how to market.
Great video I'm definitely gonna upgrade
Hey thanks, man!
Those are nice I myself got the sunpie set of lights for my heritage, will be installing soon
Good deal, man.
your mrs. is cool! thank you for all the recording you do.
Our pleasure!
Both you & the Misses , PRAVO !!! & increased peace of mind in the dark .
I run them on my bike and love them 👍👍🇨🇱 I been running them for a few years now and they are still as good as the day I got them...
Looks great good job Saddle Tramp.😎
Thank, man. 😎
My 03 cvo road king came with led lights similar to those....thingsbare brighter than lights on my silverado....definitely a worthy upgrade for someone with stock lights
😂 I had the same reaction just upgraded mine last week. Hell of a difference
Excellent install vid ! May be worth mentioning, as STS stated, higher wattage LED create more heat. Change OEM plug to ceramic for added heat protection to wiring. RIDE EZ

Incorrect.
Those really light up the road, seen they sent Robin The Lady Biker one for her RK and was equally as bright. I think those make you more visible in day light too, I passed bike other day with LEDs and it was really bright definitely could see it a lot better than the old halogen light. Have fun and be safe.
Hey Dude , God bless ya for the effort but ... Within the cutters you used is a feature on the inward handle side , ie. the half round looking portion of the tool is a crimper to crimp those fasteners with . then use a lighter and meltish the plastic without burning it . it should shrink if its the good stuff . If you start having problems it will be because those plier joints , they work in a pinch but a better connection is needed for the long haul . Peace Brother . Your a blessing
Pooty nice! I finally upgraded my 93 fxr with an Eagle Lights slim led headlight 5 3/4 & oh my lawd!
LOVE the light, Tramp!! I had wanted to put an LED headlamp on my bike awhile back but the shop told me it would pull too much juice and run my Streetglide down. Let me know if you have any trouble with that, please. And yes!! She's a beauty!! Just pack her up and I'll send you the shipping fee!!! LOL (Now you prob won't let me come and visit ya, tho!!)
congrats on your getting noticed by those head light guys man. I will wait for the end results, that was a huge improvement in visibility for sure. great Vid.
Your choice of fill in music, I could not decide what it reminded me more of, Knight Rider or mid 80's porn. LOL all good though. LOL
Same led lights as I put on my 2013 ultra classic. Fit great and only took 30 minutes to put in. Awesome lights. Plug and play.
Great deal
Paid $119 dollars for mine off Amazon. Great product, very easy to install.
that is great!
I converted my 73 XLCH to all LED and I had to replace the flasher unit with one that had a resister built in and it is adjustable to increase or decrease resistance for the signals. I converted my FLSTF to all LED including the signals and I put in a special resister from J&P cycles. I converted to LED to save electricity especially on the Ironhead.
Right on, Paul. I'm thinking of doing the same to the softail.
Got them on my 93 90th Edition Classic luv them great for country riding . Luv the Tramp from Barry Nantais windsor Ontario Canada great job . Keep making videos we luv ya.
Thanks, man. 🙂
I have a 93 Heritage and was wondering if they would work, you just answered that question. Thanks
Thanks for the Info I just ordered one for the Indian Chieftain.
Right on, man!
Loving the funky music!
Dont forget to readjust your headlights as the LED's throw out a different pattern on light compared to OEM headlight
That is a HUGE difference.
I think now you need LED turn signals too now brother.
Great video.
Thanks man.
Wow. I see new headlight in my future. Thanks Corey.
Sure thing!
I just did a full bike LED swap on my Geezer glide as well...they are fantastic!!
Fun video, you sounded like a kid with a new toy at the end! 😂
They look nice.👍
Thanks For The Video
You bet!
when you do your update in a few weeks, can you show the difference between low and high beams please, just curious what the high beam pattern is like.
I did the same upgrade to my Heritage Classic and it doubled the light. Were up in the mountains and summer night rides are dangerous up here with Deer wondering along the roadway and jumping out. You probably have the same thig there. It's a safety issue...Good video
I bet it helps
I have been looking at lights but didn’t want to pay the the nose. Will be watching for the review
I bought from them on Amazon. I love mine. Only have about 5 miles with it at night though.
I bought a little jumper wire from HD that lets the two side lights be on when the high beam is on, as well as the low beam. You can still still turn the driving lights off if you want, but why would ya want to?
Wow, unbelievable! I had a similar experience with my new bike. Was used to shitty halogen for 20 years (it was not great from the getgo). Last year, I upgraded to a new bike and thus LEDs...well, yes, quite the difference.
Looks much better👍
I agree
thanks you. installing today with channel locks. 😆👌🏾
I have been waiting. I don't ride at night much but when caught out after dark I always wish I had more light. I'm ready for a LED
See and be seen.. NICE. 👌 (don't forget to do the aiming)
