Default Smart engineer wanted

My police bags have pop-up on top with latch delete.
So I have a blank spot. There are many filler plates. Usually they are just red reflectors

This is what i want :: instead of reflectors, use led filler panels. It has hidden push momentary on/off switch .. Push anywhere for the action. The whole thing would light up..
Maybe held on with velcro or a perma install with someway to change batteries 2032,, idk.. I'm not smart ..

Hey wiseass, logic would demand that he is asking you to post a pic of what you currently have for others to try to visualize what you are looking at/working with...that is after they decipher what you originally typed into some logical sense of what they think you are asking for.

I'm pretty sure I get the gist of what you want, but it was a hard read! And without having the kind of bags you are talking about, I'm having a hard time picturing it.

Um yeah.. Short answer, they are police saddlebags with latch delete..
Idk how else to say it acuz that's what it's called plus the description is also exactly the same..
You know what a police bag is? You know what a latch is? You know what the reflectors are?
So ok I'm a smart *** but what's the problem here...
Hard read? lomfl

The "latch delete" is confusing. All the cop bags around here have "hockey pucks" mounted right in the center of the lids. That's what is used to open and close them.

There are lots of inserts for the standard lid latches, aftermarket and otherwise. I don't recall seeing any with LED lights in them, but J&P or Dennis Kirk might be worth a look.

Seriously. Just post the pictures of your bags at different angles to give people a perspective of what you're asking. Most people are visual in nature.
