Best headlight upgrade?

[Taz]

I've looked through many threads but haven't seen any headlight upgrades. I ride a lot at night since the daytime summer heat where I normally ride is almost unbearable.

Has anyone done something to upgrade the stock headlights? Anyone swap out the stock lights with something like the Daymakers from a Harley? I am not sure I want to wire in a set of Denalis or similar. Navigator did have some nice brackets made for his.

Looking for options that others have used.

You say Best, do you mean Best: JW Speaker company, or best bang for your buck?

Thanks for the quick reply. There is always a point of diminishing returns. At the same time, I don't mind spending on quality as sometimes the extra improvement in performance might be worth it. So I'd consider both and anyone's experience with them.

There is only one good aftermarket. JW speaker.

When I had the Roadster I bought these...

Eagle Lights 5 3/4" Black Gen 3 LED Projection Headlight - Lifetime Warranty | eBay

EAGLE LIGHTS QUALITY - The original Eagle Lights 5 3/4" LED headlight. The Eagle Lights 8900 headlight uses high quality polycarbonate lens construction for extra durability and heat treated die-cast aluminum for the body.

www.ebay.com

The difference between those and stock was... "night and day." Inferior to more expensive options? Maybe- but maybe not.
One of them got foggy and after two or more years the company sent me a new one. I was very satisfied with them. According to reviews..

Thanks, I had actually been looking at these. They are cheap enough to try and if they are good enough, no need to spend more money. I've seen a fair amount of complaints about the JW's not having a bright enough low beam and that the adaptive function can be a little slow to adapt. Quite a few comments about the light quality is good but the output could be better.

I could always buy 1 of each and split the difference.

I predict that if you buy one of those and install it next to your other stock light that you'll turn around and buy a second one. Plus, the Lifetime Warranty is legit.

I know of others that have the eagles and they are bright and they like them and have held up atleast a couple years in each instance. @CrzystghndKC rocks em

The Eagles look like a good place to stop my search for now. I just need to decide if I want to go with the chrome ones to brighten it a bit or go for the murdered-out look and keep the interior black.
