IMO, they are a waste of money. As far as light output, they are worse than stock. The only reason I could see someone getting a pair of those ugly things is for looks


What is the exact name brand of them?

Dosen't matter- there are about 10 different companies that have their name on them but they are all made in the same factory in china. just go on ebay and find the cheapest set.

I like the light options from ADD (Addictive Desert Designs). Not a waste

If you do go with an "ebay" set of heads take the time to put some extra silicone around the light to make sure its sealed. That seems to be one of the most complained about problems is how they fog up. X2 on the hellas! They are a very nice set of lights. When it comes to heads you deff get what you pay for. Gluck!

Actually, they are supposed to fog up initially. After 5 days, if they are still foggy or have more than a few drops of water in them, then I would suspect a leak. Headlamps are waterproofed and tested from the factory.

For what body style? 10th or 11th gen? For you 11th gen guys, All Ford does for the Harley lights is paint them black. Open them up and DIY, save some $$$

2006 is the 11th gen. You can pop them in the oven for about 10-15 mins at 240*F and work your way around the PermaSeal and open them up. The buckets come out, so you can sand, prime and paint and then reassemble.
