Phase 7 L.E.D. Headlight

[Ohio HD]

Thinking about trying an LED headlight on my SG. I was wondering if there are any users of the Truck-Lite units, what you like or don't like about them, and how are they holding up?

Thanks

I run them on my Deluze with the Aux lights too.  VERY white light and casts far and wide.  I really like them.  To make them work on the Deluxe Aux I had to cut down the mounting stud in the light housing, other than that a very easy and clean install.  No real neg. after 2 months or so of use except the cost.. Not cheap by any stretch

Sprinkman posted this package last month, been thinking about them for awhile.

That's who I've been looking at for pricing too. But I'll just get the 7" headlight.

Thanks

That's good to hear, I really want to have a much wider field of light.

Ohio,

I am running the phase 6, yes I know its not the phase 7, but the phase 7 is supposed to be better.  Anyway the light from the headlight is very good, nice and bright and combined with the spots really lights up the road at night. 

For what its worth I noticed the biggest difference with the spot light LEDs.  I also wired so I can use the bright and spots together and that really lights up those dark two lane roads at night.

You won't be sorry you got the phase 7, you probably wonder why you waited so long.

Thanks Frank! Hearing about your experience with the #6 is fine, it also means they are holding up.

I have been running them on my wrangler JKU and they are night and day better then stock.  If they would work in my Roadglide I would put them in that too.

Thanks Jeff, I bet they are bright in pairs like that.

I really like mine great price at easternperformance. I also installed the Dynamic Ringz Bullet LED turn signals 1157. From Custom Dynamics pricey but give off alot of light they turn amber when signal is on.

Yes, so far they have the best price I've seen.

I put the headlight on my RK about 3 weeks ago. Makes the spots useless now so I will have to save up for them. Got it off Ebay for $199. Can't say that I do like it just yet. Not enough nite riding to tell. Was not happy the first nite but have heard you have to lower the beam a little.

[Jeffd]

The cool thing is they don't blind on coming traffic even tho they are very bright.  It is super important to have them aimed properly.

That's bright alright. I also like the idea of less drain on the charging system and battery. I'm from old school of nervous Shovel riders...    will I make it home at night....

I've had the headlight and the spots (with the HD kit for SG's) on my SG for over a year now. Can't imagine not having them anymore. They are a world of difference at night. Haven't had one problem with them yet.

If you stop somewhere there are other bikes, be prepared to answer lots of questions about them.

Thank you Ancient, sounds more and more like I'll make that investment.

They work great at a straight line as for going around a corner or a curve alittle dark to the outer area not like a reg.halogen bulb because of the flood effect because of the beam effect.I ride to work at 3:00 am.So I well aware of this side affect.I do have them in 2 of 3 bikes was think about trying the JW speaker lite(HD style) the truck lite does work.

Hmm, that's an interesting bit of info. And i could see that its probably as you said, more of a direct beam, and not cascaded light. That could be troublesome on bad roads.

Anyone else had concerns with theirs going around corners?

One down side is the fact it sticks out of the headlight bezel further.  I finally went with a Headwinds bezel to get the look I was after.

[emxgarcia]

TruckLite works very fine. I like the uncluttered look vs the HD/JD
Also, much better price.
Don't think twice about it

Not so bad if you wound stay with reg.halogen small lites if you have them aim them out ward or if no small lite yes have to slow down and weave back and forth so the bike comes straight up than back down Or lean so you can make the turn,Thats what I do for a get off ramp hope the po,po do not see you (DUI)? What the hell you doing he ask,I know   

[IronMike113]

I also got mine from local truck shop 215.00,the link from Eastern perf. The small lites are not the LED style.

[Nooter99]

Side note: Eastern Perormance is an excellent company to do business with. Have used them many times the last several years with no complaints. And their shipping is fast...and free!

[IronMike113]

Yes they are great peeps just wanted to point that out if you don't look you wound not know Greaaaaat place to order from!! 

[onehawghead]

Like the phase 7 that I installed several months ago on my dresser. Have noticed the volt meter registers slightly higher at idle and going down the road compared to the oem headlight.

[TweekmyTwin]

Just installed the L.E.D. truck lite and he bought it from eastern performance for $199 delivered. Easy install, looks great plus he had the larger trim ring so

[Ohio HD]

Looks like I'll be ordering one. What trim ring are you guys speaking of that's larger?

[ultra 08]

Ohio if you look on the general section I posted some pic,s of the phase 7,s on my bike you will find it listed as LED Head lites. I am very happy with the lights my borther rode my bike one night and could not believe the difference they made.

[Ancient]

Visor style trim ring. P/N 69733-05. They are deeper and work well with the Truck Lite.

[Hilly13]

From what I can see from the beam comparison the trucklite has a better cornering beam than the jw, I went back to hid and a hella lens from the jw as it was lacking in corners.

Thanks Ancient

[ultra 08]

Ohio HD another thing that is nice about the Truck Lite LED is when you turn on the high beam it does not drop out the low beam like most other head lights do.

[crazy joe]

You guys are talking about lack of light in corners....
do you have passing lamps or single lights?

[Hilly13]

Single 7" on mine Joe

[sprinkman]

I think you have to buy a new wiring harness to do that. That is what I did now only way to shut them off is accessory switch.

[wingie]

Put a headlight on my wifes 05 Deluxe last year. She loves it. Harley rim to keep light from hanging out too far. Had to cut notches in it with dremmel.
Thinking called a visor headlight rim. We wrote in manual how we put it on. A stranger would wonder how it worked. Wingie

I have the phase 6, headlight and passing lamps. I really like them. One benefit is they make reflective material jump out, signs, lines, guard rails etc.

[TA63]

I run the phase 7 in my 03 fat boy.  It blows the stock headlight away in every regard..  I enjoy riding at night, and this light makes me feel much more comfortable doing so. 

[koko3052]

Brian, just to let you know that the JW Speakers cast a very bright light from fence post left to fence post right on your interstate hiways.....but expensive!
Nothing else to buy for my '05 Fatboy...fit perfect!

[crazy joe]

Can someone post the TruckLite  part numbers for the 7''headlight and the 4'' passing lamps.
I want to replace the lights on 03 EG with LED lights, can get them though work
but need part numbers.
Thanks in advance.

[onehawghead]

Headlight # 27270C, spotlight # 80275.
