They're getting there.

Last summer, a DH-S501 cost $140 in the US. Around the same time Shimano announced changes in their US distribution structure and pricing. Those changes are just now showing up. The DH-S501 is now $80 stateside. Earlier in January, it was still $140.

Where you'll still find significant savings is in the lights themselves. I saved over $60 (closer to $70) buying at bike24.de as compared to Peter White.
