First off let me say that brightness and function was my goal. I was willing to give up on how cute it may look.
These strip lights were bought at PEP BOYS, they have a peel of sticky back. I left the peel off cover on, then I inserted each light inside of some clear pvc tubing. I sealed each end closed with clear silicone. then I mounted them in between the metal wrap pieces around the saddlebags. They were just long enough to cover the back of the bag and curve forward just two inches or so. They are held in position with small black cable ties. Then just splice into the brake light wire, and ground to bike structure.
Like I said most guys might not want to do this because it looks a little "home made", but to me it was well worth the extra protection. Rademis
