The original daymaker I put on my 07 RG on day one on sale with the single led and 3 for high beam is a way better upgrade than the stock 18 "daymaker" junk! Not to mention my old Halogen bulb version...

I have a 2023 road glide limited and the stock headlights suck. Glad you went over the adjustment on it thank you. I hit a dead deer Sunday morning that was in the middle of the road around 4:00 am. Didn’t see it until I got right on top of it and my headlights were on bright. Definitely going to adjust them then may end up changing them out anyway. Thanks for the info

Very good video with a great spread of type of lights. I guessed CD/CVO/Day maker I would offer this as far as your test. There is more to lighting than the distance it reaches (also known as throw). There is the “hot spot” factor. The CD lights are powerful, but have very noticeable hot spots. Evenly diffused light is the best way to go. The CVO light is definitely showing great throw and diffused! I say CVO for the win for sure!! This is the best headlight HD has ever put on a bike in my opinion. Thanks for the video Que

That's great info. I wasn't aware of the specific lingo for what I was seeing, but I didn't notice that the CVO light was consistently bright for the area directly in front of the bike and to the side. The CD light is very bright in some spots and not so bright in others.

Great comparison video. I can definitely appreciate the CVO headlights but in the grand scheme of things upgrading lights are definitely cheaper than buying a new bike. Especially when I love my bike, 2016 Road Glide Ultra. I just wish the lights with custom dynamics weren’t the circle headlights look. I think it gives them a look of the old style Road Glide. I actually really like the shape of the Harley day makers but wish they provided more visibility. I’ll continue to wait for some headlights made by Custom Dynamics that are more appealing visually to me.

If you are getting blinded by any headlights they aren’t aimed correctly. And in our MSF course the instructor said to use the hazard lights in heavy rain so people can see you from behind. I prefer to seek shelter if it’s raining that hard.
