5 1/4" H4 headlights

Monkeyman · 12-07-2011, 06:16 AM

Anyone know of a good source for a pair of 5 1/4" headlights utilizing the H4 bulb? I need a pair for my project fairing. (Sealed beams suck.) All I'd need is the lens assy. No bucket, wiring or bulb would be needed. I can find some for automotive applications but they're the wrong size.

What about the Road Glide headlamps, you should be able to find some on Ebay.
Do the have to be adjustable?

The RG lights aren't the same as the TG. If you look closely at the RG lights, they're actually oval. I never noticed until I saw a set in person. And they definitely have to be adjustable as I'm not sure I can get the fairing mounted at just the right angle.

I keep calling the Tour glide a Road glide, I never look at them close enough to differentiate the two.

They both have "sharknose" fairings. The Tour Glide was basically the Road Glides dad. If you look at them side by side, there are definitely some obvious differences. If you just look at them one at a time, it's easy to confuse them. I think the RG fairing looks better but the TG has better wind protection and MUCH better aftermarket support. On the other hand, the Road Glide fairing is MUCH more expensive which is why I ultimately went with the Tour Glide. (Now I have to look at my other thread and apologize to someone.)
