bought a used bike with 50k miles (hard miles, not garage queen miles)
it had a lot of CD stuff put on by a dealer, and some of the individual LED's around the perimeter had quit working. I never did pull the actual light out of the housing to see if it said CD on it, or not, but most every light had a few burnt out.
i priced replacement front turn signal LED's, and they were ~$90ish for a pair.
my question is, is it normal for a few individual LED's to go out on these expensive LED lights? $90 seems a lot, if the individual LED's burn out after while.

LED's do have a lifespan, but its typically so long we'll never see it. However they do fail from time to time. Lots of vibration on a bike, and its more likely the circuit board broke a trace of something similar.
I think CD stuff is lifetime warranty. Not sure if its original owner, but it may be worth a call or at least looking at their website?
I've replaced every light on my bike with CD except the JW Speaker headlight. Though I am very tempted to get Ciro3D Machete bag blades, if they we'rent so expensive.
