RE: Flashing LEDs for the trunk
The ends for my T/P are standard filiment bulbs and are on a wig-wag ckt. \\; Caught this photo with all lit up.

Have one installed on my T/P looks great when flashing.

I'm going to figure out how to post my mpeg file on the photo server some how and show mine flashing and the ends of the T/P wig-wagging.

You might want to check out Hyperlights. I have them on my Ultra, they are very bright and they dont alternate but do blink about 6 times then stay on.
Very small and hardly noticable. http://www.hyperlites.com/

Got the flashing LEDS for my brake and turn signals. \\; Love em. \\; Had more than one dude pull up and say, those lights are great. \\; Might consider them. \\; Mine are Kuryakyn. \\; CCRyder

RE: Flashing LEDs for the trunk
I got mine from signaldynamics.com the wigwag. \\; I installed 6 of their single LED's in the back of my tourpak and added the wigwag so it'd alternate with the opposite LED's. \\; If I could add a movie, would be great to see. \\; Additionally, I have their headlight modulator since the majority of accidents happen from the front. \\; For an added bonus, I put 3 yellow LED's on the outer edge of the inner fairing and connected them with the turn signals so that people along side me have some clue I'm thinking of turning. \\; I'm currently riding through the Outer Banks\\; however, when I get home I'll post some pics. \\; Maybe even a link to YouTube with the movie of the lights.

S7.9.4 Motorcycle headlamp modulation system
S7.9.4.1 A headlamp on a motorcycle may be wired to modulate either the upper beam or the lower beam from its maximum intensity to a lesser intensity provided that:
[blockquote]
(a) The rate of modulation shall be 240 plus-or-minus 40 cycles per minute.
(b) The headlamp shall be operated at maximum power for 50 to 70 percent of each cycle.
(c) The lowest intensity at any test point shall not be less than 17 percent of the maximum intensity measured at the same point.
(d) The modulator switch shall be wired in the power lead of the beam filament being modulated and not in the ground side of the circuit.
(e) Means shall be provided so that both the lower beam and upper beam remain operable in the event of a modulator failure.
(f) The system shall include a sensor mounted with the axis of its sensing element perpendicular to a horizontal plane. Headlamp modulation shall cease whenever the level of light emitted by a tungsten filament light operating at 3000 degrees Kelvin is either less than 270 lux (25 foot-candles) of direct light for upward pointing sensors or less than 60 lux (5.6 foot-candles) of reflected light for downward pointing sensors. This light is measured by a silicon cell type light meter that is located at the sensor and pointing in the same direction as the sensor. A Kodak Gray Card (Kodak R-27) is placed at ground level to simulate the road surface in testing downward pointing sensors.
(g) When tested in accordance with the test profile shown in Figure 9, the voltage drop across the modulator when the lamp is on at all test conditions for 12 volt systems and 6 volt systems shall not be greater than .45 volt. The modulator shall meet all of the provisions of the standard after completion of the test profile shown in Figure 9.
(h) Means shall be provided so that both the lower and upper beam function at design voltage when the headlamp control switch is in either the lower or upper beam position when the modulator is off.[/blockquote]
S7.9.4.2
[blockquote]
(a) Each motorcycle headlamp modulator not intended as original equipment, or its container, shall be labeled with the maximum wattage, and the minimum wattage appropriate for its use. Additionally, each such modulator shall comply with S7.9.4.1 (a) through (g) when connected to a headlamp of the maximum rated power and a headlamp of the minimum rated power, and shall provide means so that the modulated beam functions at design voltage when the modulator is off.
(b) Instructions, with a diagram, shall be provided for mounting the light sensor including location on the motorcycle, distance above the road surface, and orientation with respect to the light.[/blockquote]
