- 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.
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!
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...
Exellent Job Brother!😅😅😅
You had me rollin when you broke out the Chanel Locks. Hahaha awww Man.. 😅
God bless you brother!🩸✝️👑
That's a good looking light set, looks awesome on the bike!
Sure does, man. Looks like a UFO at night.
Nice job
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’s an upgrade for sure! Congratulations
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.
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.
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
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?
Now they just need to send you new indicators to match. Nice upgrade 👌🏻

What?
Great job on the trailer can't wait for the premier.
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 .
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.
Big shout out to those Channel Locks! Looks like a job well done. Ride Safe.
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.
I must admit, I was expecting a improvement. But I wasnt expecting sunlight at night☀️☀️☀️ Outstanding Tramp👍
WOW! Easy install, nice and bright, and the price is great.
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.
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!
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
Awesome 👍,,Walk and Ride in the Light.. Massive Improvement.
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
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.
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
Still loving your music selections! LED makes a huge difference, inspires confidence on night rides for me.
Looks great Corey! I'm sure you'll enjoy the light level. Cheers! cb
I thought you might like those lights!! Good video, looked pretty easy to install. Be good and be safe!!
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, that is very Cool! Now with the new lighting system, your bike looks like the Son of Darth Vader! Keep up the good work Amigo and say hello to your pretty Missus.
Great improvement....thanks for sharing......JB..
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.
Great video & early review on your new lights.
Thanks for sticking around and watching!
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)
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🤷.
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
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.
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
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.
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
so happy for you bro, that frosty light you had was worrying me some.
LED lighting is the way to go for sure. on the cheapo versions the usual suspects are fitment issues and sealing issues. usually more in humid places, so if you skate past the humid issues you should be golden.
Another benefit of running LED lighting is a greatly reduced electrical draw on your charging system.
I usually replace all the regular lighting on my bikes to have all led's.
Really happy you got the lights changed and the cost was unbeatable :-)
Can you replace all the lights? Not just the headlights? :-)
@@mhough3 you can
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!
Totally updated you front end,,,Love the wire crimpers,,,
channel locks!!! best wire crimp ever! awesome video, Saddle Tramp.
You are blessed with a great wife my dude. Fun lamp install vid. ...next ...tail light extra lamps. Be seen from behind too and please. :))
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.
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.
Both you & the Misses , PRAVO !!! & increased peace of mind in the dark .
I made this upgrade to my '09 electra glide classic a few months ago, well worth it. You'll also notice the LED's are much easier on the charging system than the halogen lamps...
On your 09 what holds the top of the factory trim ring on, with only the bottom screw the top of the trim ring just bounces around on mine.
@@ChewinFat it was a little looser than stock but it wasn’t that loose that bounced around.
Wow. They work great. I will be getting some. Wow. That company knows how to market.
Excellent video I have an 87 heritage does it have the 3way plug or H4? I think it is called
Just installed mine today, thanks for the video
Awesome! Good deal!
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.
Those are nice I myself got the sunpie set of lights for my heritage, will be installing soon
Good deal, man.
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
Those light look 1000% better they are really a nice-looking Set of Lights
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
LED lights are amazing! Use next to no juice and give twice as much light! A must have IMO for bikes that get used :)
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!
Light looks awesome
Relooking your vids, Cory the Best crimping pliers I've found & used is made by Thomas & Betts, without a doubt, check out your hardware dealer,ask to look at their catalog. Pliers #8 " long, cutter on tip, red connector crimp , then yellow/ larger connector. Not all the lifts that were bought had lights,that fell to our shop.love to you both.
Thanks for the tip!
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.

I put RRI led lights in my Nightrain and man. the low beam lights up all 3 lanes of the highway . but if you do the turn signals on the older bikes you need to get a load equalizer so they don't hyper flash.
What a difference!!!! Love the dramatic music with the new lighting 👍🏼. Well done. Cool 😎
I had to play it up some how. Lol
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
That's beautiful! I'm going to buy them and looking forward to install them. Many thanks Corey!
I think you did a good job. For me personally, I always walk up to the Harley counter at the dealer. And have them instal it. That way it's the best light. And they touched it last. But to each their own. Having proper lighting is key.
I agree... Each to their own.
your mrs. is cool! thank you for all the recording you do.
Our pleasure!
Very impersive. Glad you took that on, it is also knowing you have people who care. Take care and keep safe on the road.
I ride a white 06 road king police with lots of chrome and I like the way those black led lights look, I just can't make up my mind as to order a black or chrome light set. 🤔
Looks great on the bike, like a new machine! Looking forward to the updates on how they hold up.
You and me both!
Just what I have been looking for. Ordered them today. Thanks for the video!
Glad I could help!
😂 I had the same reaction just upgraded mine last week. Hell of a difference
Thanks for the Info I just ordered one for the Indian Chieftain.
Right on, man!
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!
Love the funky music montage! Now you need the LED turn signals...
You think?
Looking good Tramp, looking good. Now they'll see you coming 5 minutes before you get there.
😄
You are gonna love those lights. Same set up on my 97 Heritage including having to splice and crimp the passing lights.
hey the lights look great i bet they will light up the road for sure
They sure will!
Paid $119 dollars for mine off Amazon. Great product, very easy to install.
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
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!!)
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.
Tramp, this a game changer. I've been looking at ones made by TRUCKMALL same price, but I'm leaning toward these. For the money you can't go wrong. I would like to know about their longevity. Better than paying $5-700 for other brands..
See and be seen.. NICE. 👌 (don't forget to do the aiming)
Nice upgrade 🤘
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!
Pooty nice! I finally upgraded my 93 fxr with an Eagle Lights slim led headlight 5 3/4 & oh my lawd!
Those look great on your bike and really bright. Thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
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?
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.
thanks you. installing today with channel locks. 😆👌🏾
no relay needed??? so no wire burn out from exsess heat drawn..? looks great
still waiting for my bike to get home & maybe put a 2nd hand motor in it... cheers..
These draw less power than the old incandescent.
Just ordered a t-shirt, but as for the lights I've been on the fence myself about them. Though I need to do something as I find myself adding more and more lights to the bike just to remove them a few days later. Can't wait to see what you say in about 6 weeks.
Awesome, thank you!
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...
I bought from them on Amazon. I love mine. Only have about 5 miles with it at night though.
That is a HUGE difference.
I think now you need LED turn signals too now brother.
Great video.
Thanks man.
Looks good , yeah those led lights make a huge diff. I switched on my sporty and yeah wont use any other headlight , thabks for sharing man 👍👍
Sure thing!
