Florida 150 I'm looking for those same corners on ebay. The second corner light you posted only list 97-01 as compatible years. Do you know if they would fit an 02? I'm positive they would but I want to be sure. Otherwise, any difference in quality between the two?

Ok this may seem like a dumb question, but what does it mean when lights are SAE/DOT approved? I notice some are not approved but I'm not sure what difference that makes.

Thanks!

DOT = Department of Transportation. Some of the lights are not street legal due to glare issues and what not that cause other drivers to have a hard time seeing the road. Kinda like having your brights on at all times. Or some of them are still awaiting DOT approval. Its best to buy with a SAE/DOT approval. Better to be safe in my opinion.

In addition to what 4x4me says...Most of the clear corners are not DOT approved because they lack the amber reflector inside. Even if you put an orange bulb in there they are still not technically legal because federal law requires them to have an amber reflector also. I have been running mine for several months and haven't gotten any hassles but I kept my factory corners just in case. If the cops start bugging me I guess I'll put the OEM ones back on

Would you guys buy these?

I have also seen these. I would love to have a set to enhance by black truck. My question is are these lights direct R&R? With the additional lights, is there any additional wiring that needs to be done? Thanks and who ever gets a set of these PLEASE post some pics of them in day and night.

I ordered a Lightning brake light from Kar Kraft. No problems. I got my merchandise in a matter of days. But I know where you're coming from. I was a little apprehensive at first once I saw the ordering process. Everything turned out fine with my purchase. Good luck!

Can anyone tell me the least expensive place to find a set of harley headlights & corners? Everyone I've found wants at least $350 for the set.

In regards to the "halo" lights, I think they look super sharp. But I too was wondering about the extra light and wiring. If anyone has these and could provide some insight, I may go that route instead of the Harley or Lightning lights/corner. If you have any pics of them on an actual truck, I'd like to see those too!

Thanks!
