Take a look at the 09 CVO Road Glide. They have a really sweet Stock LED setup for brake/signal lights that looks like it would blend right in to your setup.

What about turning your signal lights into brake lights, running lights, and signal lights?
I bought the HD kit for that and it works great for more Brake light.

Default LED Lighting for rear.

I just fabricated a set for my bags. Yellow ring for turn, hi & low reds for brake & running lights. send me your e-Mail address and I will send you a picture. What a PIA but after 2 days of installation it is now all worth it. Check it out and it is your call. Very bright and you just see the ring & the lights. Again, PIA to install as I drilled out the bags to flush mount them. No damage to the paint. see you in a few hours.

I saw this in person and didn't get a picture but I found this picture on the H/D site that should give you an idea

http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_us...bmLocale=en_US

It's on page 12 and there is a good 3/4 rear view of the bike. There is also a detail picture but it isn't that great.

Default As promised Day

The lights are flush mount and they are rubber gasket-ed & a chrome cover on the inside of the bags covers the inside of the light.

This is what I started out with. I made my own enclosures than chromed them. These bags come off very easily and used Deutsch connectors DTM's (miniatures)
