Default L.E.D. stop, run, turn?

I want to strip the run, break, turn lights off the sporty and mount a led strip under the fender like these, anyone tried this or have a better solution?

ok, looks like im flying solo on this mod so heres the objective

1. tuck under fender so its nearly invisible.
2. Must be bright enough so the cage on my *** is fully aware I am stopping / turning
3 not look like its a hack job (I have seen ricers do it and the L.E.D's were not straight or are to big and spaced out to far)

I am going to order the led bar and try to mold fiber optics into clear epoxy to the exact curve of the rear fender so the light blends to a solid light bar at the end of the fender while the fiber optics should keep the red break and the amber turn separated (that's the plan at least)

I will keep this thread going with the results and photos through the process.
