Default Auto-Gem Lights

Looking to loose the grab bar on my EG Classic and was suggested I look into Auto-Gem...
any comments or suggestions? Their LED setup seems perty damn expensive lol as compared to the "standard" version... I've seen the LED Blue Dot lens setup for about $140 give or take and the standard version being half that.

So how was the install? Would you buy them again? I've had LED tag bolts before and I know they are prone to failure, been there and done that so kind of leary on the LED version or should I just go with a bracket and no lights and be done with it?

Lastly, whose got the best prices on these ?

Thanks
BB

I thought the LED was steep also, so I got the standards. I like 'em.

Looks good... did you cut the grab bar off or is it removable? I'm a tad leary of cutting but I'll do what I've got to do... hate to screw up a perfectly good paint job lol.

The lights are built in to a bracket that replaces the bar. Once you start taking the bar off you will see.

Unless you have LED's all the way around, I'd go with the standard bulbs...pretty easy to install, but be careful not to pinch the wires when you re-install the fender strut (like I did).
