Haven't seen those, but I know you can get a full LED light kit for less money.    I just installed the 9-pod package here for $100 - http://www.customdynamics.com/fx_accent_lights.htm.  Looks pretty good...

Buy the covers without the LEDs, then you can put your own lights in them for a whole lot less money if you want.

I have the same ones. Had to fix a broken wire the other day. The wires are very thin. They have been on the bike for over 4 years before the broken wire. They look nice.

I bought the slotted covers and added my own lights.  I thought I might have a problem with heat breaking down the small guage wires, but I have not had any problems in 3 years.

Ive got the Kury Covers with the Blue lights in them. The install is very straightfoward. I havent had any problems with them yet. Id say total time to install was about an hour and a half. And a lot of that time was spent trying to figure out where I wanted to run the wiring and hide the switch housing. I ended up securing my switch housing to the cover of the fusebox (its behind the side cover on the right hand side of the bike).

I just moved the fuse location sticker to the side cover, so I can identify all the fuses still.

The only bad thing is you have to pull off the side cover to turn the lights on and off.....small problem, but no big deal.

Hope the info helps.
