The inserts were purchased from ebay. I removed the crystal eyes, drilled the eye sockets, installed 3mm 12VDC LED lights then reinstaled the crystals. Sounds easy but it wasn't.

These things really light up the side of my bike which is the main reason I did it. Now I can be seen clearly at night from the side.

Nice work & bike. But, hows about that avatar. Is she for real or just a photo you lucked into?

No, it doesn't sound easy. Looks great!
