Post Pics of your HARDBAG REAR LIGHTS
As a 2nd shift working I commute home on the freeways at around midnight and have decided I want more than the OEM running light on the back. I'd like to add some running/brake lights to the back of my hardbags. I'm looking for ideas and would like to see what others have done for additional rear lighting. How about some pictures?

I like them. They look like mini-tombstones.

That is exactly what they are called. They are LED and are wired to be run/brake lights.
Yeah, stopped there on the way back from the National in Colorado. Was a little disappointing but wanted to say we have been there.

I got these off the web...LED's ,W/Triple Flash (originally intended for 1946-48 Plymouth .and has a third "center/Trunk Light" that I plan to eventually replace the OEM light with)
I did have to fabricated a set of "Mounting Gaskets" to bring them more-level ! |

OK...ok you guy's....that photo was taken back when ole #4 still liked me, and we both had achey-ass after a few minutes riding...So
I had a New Zealand "Shearling" Sheep Skin... rug..(to nice to use as a rug, so had it in storage)..so I put that on the bike, and it was big enough to cover both seats at the same time ! I do admit to looking a bit "PIMPED OUT" ..but it was pretty comfortable ! (I ordered the tail lites from the web... "Shiny Hinny" Double edit/addendum here : When I wired the lites into my electrical system, I used U-Haul 4 prong trailer adapters, one on each side ..in my case..I pop rivited a strip of light metal-bent to tightly hold the recieving plug-just inside the chrome seat mounting frame, at about a 45 degree angle...so anytime I remove a bag ,it just unplugs

I would like to pics of the wiring inside anyone's bags who have done this...
Do you just drill a hole big enough for the wiring to slide into the saddle bag?
