When did LED lights become so expensive? Or why?
I just got an email from Custom Dynamics about new product. I opened it right away cause i love their products. I have the from and rear fender lights in black and the Ringz in the front and the Fillerz in the back. So i was excited to see new 7 headlights and driving lights. They look to be very good but as i scrolled down past the price i said to myself "hell no". 439 for the head light and 429 a piece for the spot lights? Now i can do the math and it's 1300.00 for 3 lights? Now i can see it's a good system but that is off the hook. Maybe someday the cost will come down, i have daymakers on there now from the MOCO and they will have to do. Just my rant for today.
Added: I spoke with CD customer support about 2:00 pm today and i was correct, the 5.75 new light they are selling is 429.95 per unit.

You think that's expensive, look at the new JW Speaker 8790:

I admit that even at that price, I am tempted...

Yes i know the daymakers are LED, maybe i should have made myself more clear. I would like to switch to the black headlights as everything else on the bike is blacked out. That was why i looked with anticipation at the CD email and was surprised by the cost. I just spoke with CD customer support and it is indeed 429.95 per light on the 5.75 lights. So the total is 1300.00 dollars to change to black.
