Every time I see those Hella headlights they always say 04-07. I know all OEM headlights are interchangeable for 04-08s. Is there any reason these Hellas won't work in an 08?

Not unless there was a styling change behind the housing. Hard to say. Some vendors just don't update their application guides. The lights may install without a problem. - Og

That is hilarious I really don't understand these people that work for the dealerships you think that they would know what they are talking about and be there to help out in this sort of deal. I would do the same thing as you midnight, problem is that there is no Harley's around anymore.


To all the guys that have mentioned about purchasing these non OEM lights it is a bad idea and I know from experience I have bough 2 sets on e-bay and both leaked like hell including hella, OEM is the way I want to go from now on but I appreciate your helping hand.


As with ordering from Tasca the problem is I live in Canada and the shipping would kill me..... Does anyone want to give me there VIN # so I can just order these head lights for god sakes... This is ridiculous I can't believe I have to do this...

Walk out onto the dealership lot and write down the vin of the one sitting on their lot. If where you are is anything like it is up here there is atleast one on every ford lot. You could also check on ebay for a harley truck with a vin listed and write that one down for them. If all else fails walk onto any parking lot(walmart/safeway/or what ever you have near by) and write down the vin of one of the many sitting in every parking lot, they are right up on the dash for everyone to read. I am not knocking the harley truck in any way I want a blue one for my next company truck but for my personal one I prefer the foose as it is the only one in town so far.

Just for future reference you can find the vin for pretty much any vehicle, just get on ebay or autotrader or whatever and find the vehicle you want parts for and use its vin which should be posted on the page. I bet you could search auto trader and find 200 listings of HD trucks
