Thanks for the clarification Viper. Does not make much sense from $50 to $300+ for a LED upgrade when a proper led bulb can be has for around $20 which I may add is replaceable.

Good idea, if you are careful you can polish the lens to near perfect if it is good shape and not brittle.....did it with classic car stuff all the time. Then if the guts are ok, new bulb and you're done.

The led one is stupid money for what it actually is. Maybe it is like some of the sellers on amazon that post real high prices for things that are on already for much , much lower....not sure what goes on there.... :-O
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
