Do you guys really think custom dynamic turn sginal LED's are a good price? $70 for two bulbs is very expensive for LEDs. Did you get them on sale or something? Id be interested in a cheaper alternative or a 50% off sale.

I love my Custom Dynamics LED rear turn signals/running lights. Very bright and buddies say they can see my turn signals much better in daylight.

That's the beauty of it! All the trash camouflages the bike!

Mine burned out half their leds in less than a year and they weren't very bright to begin with. Same with the tail light. A complete waste of money.

Custom Dynamics are made in the USA (which is enough for me right there), are plug and play (but you do need a load equalizer - that's another $60 bucks which = the $$ spent on the Harley crap, but it covers all 4 corners), are bright as the sun, and have a lifetime warranty.

So yes - I do think they are a good price because you actually get results for your hard earned dollar. Can you buy cheaper? Yep, but you get what you pay for. Sometimes less.

Compared to what they cost to make.

Only problem for LED tail lights is with the bikers following you in group rides. They look like your brake lights are on all the time, and it can be annoying.
