There seems to be volatility in their pricing. I purchased mine on Ebay on 12/15/15 for $197.09 delivered. I recall seeing a thread sometime early this year where I believe prices were in the $300 - $350 range. If you are not in a hurry, it could pay off to monitor the market and strike if/when prices hit your sweet spot.

Edit: Just checked the seller I purchased mine from and they have them listed for $352.99...yikes!

With the Eagle Eye lights, I didn't want to replace a perfectly good pair of rear lenses just to get LED's. I picked up a set of led lamps from Radio Flyer. They are very bright, but electrically noisy, something you will notice on the AM radio, but not FM or Satellite.

Any Eagle Eye users notice noise on the AM band? Easy to find out, just tune in between stations and step on the brake pedal.

Personally, I don't know how brake lights or tail lights could be too bright as long as there is strong differentiation between the tail light and brake light, I think brighter is nearly always better as long as it doesn't blind the driver behind you.

I tried regular and dark tinted. JWM RED was the compromise (right in the middle) and just right.

You can see all of the various samples in my previous post.
Yeah, I spoke with you via PMs and you were super helpful with pictures and describing the different ones. I love the JWM Red. It just sucks that you cannot buy them anymore. No idea what to do.

Wow. Cool new option, thanks.
