I just built an LED light with 3 of the Seoul P4 LEDs, and invested less than $160, including battery, controller, everything. It took about 10 hours to build, and the performance is great. Not to mention, for that price the controller is completely programable. I found all of the steps and parts list at http://myfwyc.org/bikeled/DIY_LED_Bi...ing_Guide.html.

The new LEDs are far and away more efficient than HID or Halogen, and don't have the high replacement cost of HID, not to mention WAY longer bulb life. And with 720 lumens on the highest setting (1 amp draw), that 3 LED light is on par even with the HIDs for brightness. Don't let folks steer you away from the better LEDs without taking a look for yourself.
