i purchased a Sunpie Daymaker for my 2007 Big Dog Bulldog. The brightness and the pattern of the light is great. I was wondering if anyone has the problem of the bulb flickering at idle and riding? This happens on low beam as well as high beam. Does anyone know what to do to fix this or should I try another make of bulb? Any suggestions would be appreciated as I really like the Daymaker and would like to keep it.

I had one that the lens came loose the pattern was flickering all over the place.

Lightly bang on the side and top of the housing with your palm while you are closely look at each lens. If they move around too easily and much more than the others, that could be your issue.

I sent it back and they replaced it.

Check your plug in they melt if they are the plastic one.

I’ve had two of them in a row fail. I noticed that the light was apparently jittering when I pulled up behind a pickup in traffic at a stoplight. In both cases the little glass discs (diffusers) on each side of the headlight came glued and were vibrating. Oh well, only $50 apiece….no more Sunpies for me. I sent an email of complaint to the most recent vendor, but no answer.

Here’s my sunpie daymaker. Not a bad piece compared to stock. I’m thinking about trying the Lamonster garage led bulb in stock housing.

Hey Brother I have a Iron horse and the housing so I bought a LED light cause I couldn't see shit at night, so when I got the light it didn't work, same housing but I've been told to get a resister, cause of it's a different light.. Has anyone had to get that for the difference?

I have had my day maker for many years with no problems, but there has been instances where a new one right out of the box didn't work. Might send it back to try another one before you go doing some wiring that I've never heard of

The only time I have seen a bike need a resistor is when the load was not enough and the headlight switches to high beam automatically thinking the low beam is out since it's not drawing enough amps.

Take it out of the bucket and wire it directly to the battery and see ifit works.

only connect ground to ground and only 1 power lead at a time to be safe. Do not reverse the wires, that likely will kill it.
 
Hey guys, trying to narrow down my search as to what headlight setup i was going to go with on my 03 chopper. Originally i was going to go with the diamond cut headlight and LED bulb from wildsteedworx. Then i started researching the other LED setups that are out there now and im torn. Im starting to kind of like the daymaker setup that harley runs now, but I dont know if im actually going to like the look of it on my bike. So what are you guys running for headlight setups? If you have pics installed i think that would be helpful. Plus i know we have a lot of issues with the electrical system so if theres anything else i should be aware of before pulling the trigger that would be helpful too!!

Thanks guys

I just went with Custom Dynamics adaptive headlight. Cool as hell. You can see the extra lighting when leaning. Theres a side by side from and back. It fits perfectly.
