Day maker lights for Vaquero or Voyager

Does anyone make LED lights specifically for the vaquero/voyager like the Day Makers on the Street Glide or Road Glide?

My understanding is No. You buy a truck lite which is $250 to $300 US, then you have to modify a mounting bracket to make it fit. Option 2 is buy an LED bulb and keep the stock headlamp housing. From what I have read HID will blow away the LED single H4 bulbs in terms of brightness.

I have found the Trucklite 7" for between $160 and $180 regularly. The Kury Phase 7 is actually a Trucklite that has been re-branded and had the price jacked up to $300.

You can actually buy the Trucklite at NAPA Auto Parts also, for those that want to put hands on first.

What is required to install one of these lights on a Vaquero?

I haven't done it yet, but it sounds like you have to modify the bracket the headlight sits in.

I think jestephens had to modify the plastic trim around the headlight socket, he posted it wasn't to bad of a job. from pics I seen it looked great.
his headlight was HD though if it makes a difference.

Just a thought, I have seen many innovate solutions here from some very creative individuals. I personally stay away from HID in a none HID projector assembly, I hate those cars that have them installed and just blind oncoming vehicles, I don't want to be one of those people. It is bright, but actually just scatters the light. Around here we have trucks with up to 6 " lifts with those HID kits and it is crazy wherther they are behind you or coming towards you, the federal police force RCMP is actually looking at banning none factory HID. No offense to anyone here.

I have been looking into the led lights as well. You have to try to find a way to modify the Kawi bracket to fit the light. From what I have learned, you will have to drill holes in you brand new $200 light and various other things to make it work. Too much of a pain for me. You can get some pretty sweet H4 led's on ebay for not too much money that come with a ballast and they work great. I put one in last year and it looks much brighter that the silver star bulb i had. Think i paid about $70 for it.
