Not an actual assembly, but probably easier to mount and gives you more mounting options. While not the cheapest, Custom dynamics has some very good ones that work well and are made to take the elements and vibrations that will be experienced on a motorcycle. I'm sure there are cheaper ones, but I don't know how they work or how well they hold up. I just know these do.

I might be able to get you a Radio Shack helmet and it has a light,......

- April 02, 2015, 22:12:48 PMI started out to work on one project and it's snowballing into another.
I wanted to stiffen up my bags, since they are droopy. This happens with age. 
So I bought a couple of small cutting boards to glue in to the rear part of my bags. Then I got thinking. . . . I always wanted to have more visibility at night, so why don't I add some lights to the back of the bags and have them tie in with the mounting of the stiffeners?
That said, I've been looking and looking for some lights that are appropriate, not too gaudy, blend well with the rest of the bike, and are easy to install. I mainly want them as running lights, but if possible I could go with full run/turn/stop lights too.
So I've seen all kinds of light assemblies, but nothing is really grabbing me. Here's a sample.
I'm looking for something very bright and noticeable, not subtle accent lighting.
Any ideas?
