Default Kuryakyn LED fuel cap - comments?

I'm thinking of replacing both raised fuel caps on my Fatboy with flush mount 'aircraft style' caps, specifically the Kuryakyn LED fuel gauge cap and it's pop-up fueler.
Anyone have this? How do they function? Accuracy?

I have had them on my bike for 4-5 years now, and other than the gas cap having a few scratches, they still look and work great. If your gas gauge is accurate now, it will be accurate after you install the led's.

Had that on my night train and never had any issues. The LEDs actually made it easier to tell how much gas was left in the tank.

I just put them on my bike and they look very nice. They give you enough parts so if you can't pick the pins out of the connector, you can cut it off to remove the old gauge. The installation is super easy if you follow the instructions.
