Installed my Amazon LED headlights....
I've seen these "cheap-ish" LED 7" headlights on amazon for a while now... I though i'd give them a shot... First off let me say they are WELL BUILT... very heavy duty and they have a good feel to them... great light output and don't look too bad if you ask me... i am very impressed so far!

Re: Installed my Amazon LED headlights....
Is that a 120 volt plug at the end of the wires?

Re: Installed my Amazon LED headlights....
I sure hope not! It looks to just be a normal 3 way plug in to me but hard to say.

Re: Installed my Amazon LED headlights....
It does look like it, but I think it plugs into the factory headlight connector.

Re: Installed my Amazon LED headlights....
Those look a lot like the Rigid Ind. that I paid over 5 times as much for. I really like mine, but I will say, if you drive in snow or freezing wet conditions, you won't like them. The Rigid Industries model that I have are equipped with heated lens to keep snow and ice from blocking light output. Those appear to be similar in design and the light output is by far the best you can get with just two lights ! Hope these treat you well

Re: Installed my Amazon LED headlights....
I've done some shearching around and what I came up with is that you have to get lights for a harly Davidson. 5 3/4. Not shure how the hi low would work since. the low on the stock is dule element and single for hi. Not shure when you turn the hI beam on would the hi beam light ( single element) ( wich would now be dule ) be in the hi or low beam setting.

They look good , they feel in your hands like a quality aluminum base. They installed with no issues and plugged right into stock wiring harness. I am installing a headlight circuit upgrade harness though to power directly from the battery whenever it gets delivered.
Beam pattern, jury is out on that one. My truck is garaged until new axles get here whenever Amazon feels like delivering them. However turning them on in the garage with door open, I’m not super impressed with brightness. I will take some night pics tonight and post them. New lights on passenger side of attached pic.

Re: Installed my Amazon LED headlights....
