$5.00 for Maglite D cell clips
$17.00 for 3 D cell Maglite
Are these screwed into the sound bar?

Any pictures on how to install gutter guard mesh for grille? Also I saw the picture for the side marker and i saw a connector where the splice is. What is the best way to splice that wire?

I actually screwed mine into the front of the sound bar and have had zero issues with it being there. The batteries rattle a bit but it's not a big deal.

My only concern would be that it makes a missile at head level if you ever get in a wreck

Meh... I drive 70% of the time without doors or top on. It is a valid point though and I have seen loose objects knock people in the dome in wrecks. I'm not concerned enough to move the location though. Ha.
