It's always fun to be the first to find something a little different. These lights are definitely cool.

Man that looks awesome!

Got any pics of inside the strutt? I'm curious about replacement in case the light goes out?

I've been considering bags and going with the Allo Art Signals but this looks great!

How id you fill in the struts, did you weld in and have them re-chromed or are they stainless?
Are the LED superbrights?
Did you wire the LEDs separate with a resistor on each one or in series with one resistor?

My I-don't-want-to-be-bugged-by-the-cops side of me is curious to know if there is any sort of DOT regulation that dictates how much brightness/sq inch of exposed lightage is required?

In most states it's not the size of them that matters. It's how far apart from eachother they are and how far away they can be seen from.
