HOA goes against bylaws, gets cheap, defective skylight replacements

Can anyone give me an idea of exactly what happens when an HOA goes against the bylaws and replaces $1500 items with $225 items? I want an idea no matter what state you are in about how much power the HOA bylaws have when it comes to something like this.

The HOA tells me that the skylights are in fact windows and since our bylaws refer to the windows being our responsibility that I have to pay them $3150 to 7 skylights which happen to be all defective with the seal broken and dirt and condensation between the panes of glass. Since I complained that the new skylights are against the bylaws and described all the features, no one in our community is getting these quality skylights changed including the HOA president who made the decision to replace the ones that were replaced. I feel the price of my condo has gone down because of the defective cheap skylights and would like the original ones back. Is this unreasonable? Thank you for any input you may have.
