Jerboa113 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I asked a buddy of mine, he said $45 was "ridiculous" for an LED 3rd brake light. sorry. I tried.. I showed him the one you sold me.

TSiWRX Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 ^ I don't know that's fair.... Looking at the plug-and-play LED-retrofit options for various vehicles, even the Ford F150 applications - given the dilution of cost, from volume - are in the $80+ range...even commercially/retail, that comment of the price for this retrofit being "ridiculous" doesn't quite jibe. Most such projects that are on a hobbyist basis cost around $30 to $50, too. Certainly, if one were to spend the time/labor on it himself, no, the price would be much lower. But for the convenience of a plug-and-play? Given that I didn't have to spend time ordering/gathering resources and soldering, I think that the $45 is plenty fair. Plus, one's gotta remember to come at this from the hobbyist angle. These are small-volume projects, so it's hard to recoup materials costs - and virtually impossible to recoup the time/labor cost. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 well, obviously since I bought one i disagree with him They're a rather frugal bunch.. I'm more extravagent in my expenses I buy "the best" when I want something regardless of cost.. and if I cant get "the best" I go w/o any unless I MUST have it.. (like food or something..)

TSiWRX Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 ^ I know, I wasn't blaming you. :wink: I think that the problem is that people expect to get these things at-cost, and that's not realistic, unless they want to really build the item themselves either from pre-existing plans (a few exist, for a few select vehicles) or, alternatively, are willing to tackle it from the ground-up. Both require much more effort than just plugging it in. :smile: <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
