Ok, time to upgrade to some factory style projector headlights. “Depot” use to sell replicas for around $300.
But I can no longer see their website. I saw a few new sets on ebay, but they are selling for $450. If you see a good set of oem projectors, leave a comment. This pic is the cheapest I have been able to find.

I bought mine through Amazon which is where I’ve found to have the lowest price on TYC projectors.

The only problem I’ve had with them so far: the inside fogged up a little bit (around the turn signal area) when we were getting ridiculous amounts of rainfall and high humidity. It hasn’t happened since. They have worked flawlessly and look great. I’ve had them on for about a year and a half.

It looks like you’ll have to order the R & L from separate vendors. a8fa8e8f874f844b9636f9668a80d958.jpga1b3cd6cc85a7aff7a8c1989877bc2f7.jpg

View attachment 143295 I got my TYC lights from Rockauto and in my opinion waaaay better than OEM. They’re brighter with stock halogen bulbs due to a clear low beam lens. I went from the blacked out OEM to the chrome TYC Laramie look and about $250 per side, if I remember right.
Not sure if I like the bottom more because the darker light blends so well or if because there is no ugly license plate messing up the view. Of course, I don't have to drive it at night, you do LOL.

Bottom picture was the day I bought my Sport. Top is how it is now and in BC Canada, you legally need a front plate even though they are ugly.

My left blacked out light kept fogging up and ******* me off. For the price of one OEM light, I bought s new set of the chromed TYC’s

I'm still in New Jersey so I need front plate also. When I was a lot younger, I used to ride my Harley day or night with sunglasses on. Must be like that with those dark headlights. Ya gotta see to stay alive. Have no idea how I ever made it. LOL.

Thanks for the replys guys. Depot must have stopped making the replica projectors. They use to only be around $300. These replicas seem to be the best for the price, but just don’t quite have that intricate oem look.

Do you still have the black projectors to sell?

They come that way from factory. You gotta watch though, the blacked out ones with the black low beam bezel have a tendency to have the black paint bubble and peel close to the lens.

I came across these while surfing through Amazon. I can’t comment to the quality of the brand, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a set of these for myself. I looked through the submitted questions and the only downside I can see is the turn signal doesn’t switch to amber, it stays white all the time. That could be an issue depending on where you live concerning DOT/State Inspection laws. I assume if they had LED switchbacks installed the price would jump.

Thanks man I saw those. They are made by VIP moto. Only thing I don’t like about them is the actual projector isn’t chrome like factory. They look weird in my opinion.

Then there are these for very nice depot oem replicas for $463. Found another set for $420. Such a hard decision since I am on a budget. But the depot seem to be the closest to oem and the cheapest for $420.
