Where to buy harley style heads at?

I'm looking to get a pair of black harley style headlights. Does anyone know a good place to get them from? I looked on eBay but there is a ton of them and didn't know if one is any better then the other or there all the same Chinese brand. I'm not looking to buy a OEM set they are too much.

No. Fekkin. Way.

Woon't touch 'em - er any other cheap chinglish knockoffs ( which be 99% of them) - with a 10-foot pole, meeself. Very likely to need resealing from the get-go. Ensure you at least keep up with the UV coating maintenance & reapply, as these usually are sub-par in that regard.

BUT - if you wanted to spend several hundy fer OEM/Visteon or other high-quality units from say Tyco, be my guest...

The example linky was more to highlight Fleabay, Amazon, etc as potential sources...

At that point it's in yer best interests to acquire a nice used set of OEM standards (or use yer existing ones), shake&bake 'em open and paint 'em yerself - save a heapin' heppin' o' $$$ and you'd have a quality unit and something to be proud of. Buy quality butyl from TRS to reseal. Plenty o' Tutorials on this site and others to do this. Just a Search away.

I was going to do my OEM heads but they already have little craks in them and I'm worried about heating them up and them cracking more.

If you get lucky you can find Harley lights for cheap. Got a set of genuine Harley heads and regular tails for $100.
Then turned around and sold them to Kmac. And he ruined them and painted them white
