Default Why is it so hard to find...

The optional OEM factory LED lights on CT's at dealerships or for sale versus going aftermarket?

sales replied not that many people want it and the cost is pretty high, makes more sense with the higher end model..

Dealers reorder the option combinations that sell in the least number
of days, change the content of those that sell slowly and never reorder
cars that sit for 120 days or more. High (relatively) priced entry level
compact cars do not sell quickly and end up being not reordered.
LED headlamps with auto-leveling and headlamp washers were a
$1,215 option on a $31,775 car. Commonly bundled with Navigation
and Leather they reached $40K.

Yes they are had to find used or new. We got lucky with our's it was equipped on the F-Sport SE edition. Ours came with every option avail. I've seen only a handful with LED lights. Rare sightings on non F-Sport models. Good luck on your search.
