Question Custom tail light project?

Hey all, I am looking into how to redo my tail lights. I have a 2011 Fatboy Lo and I will be chopping the rear fender shorter. Currently I have the tail light on the stock fender and the two turn signal lights off to the side.

What I would like to do is make the turn signals into run/brake/turn signals like I have seen on some other bikes like the Softail Slim.

I would also like to have my license plate inset into the fender and add an additional brake light beneath it. I'm picturing a thin but bright strip of red LED lights.

Has anyone seen anything like this done, or know what parts I would need? Thanks for any help!

Wow, that is awesome!
It works as an additional break light, or is it always on?

It can work as a run/brake/turn, if you have a r/b/t controller on your bike. I am having issues with my r/b/t controller so it is only hooked up as a running light.
