Default Easter egg brake/turn & head lights

I have 4- 21 led lights on my bicycle. The all lights are on for day & night driving. They blink off to serve as turn signals. Each of the rear run 8 LEDS for running lights and an additional 13 Leds ea. come on for brake lights.
What I didn't like was the big Led housings. This is what I am replacing them with.

Great idea there. And you can paint 'em whatever color you like. Just watch out for shell shock. (I crack me up.)

That is a great idea russell, I wanted to build a light similar to that but could not figure out what to put on the back, thanks for the idea!

that is a really smart idea, do you know where i could pick up some red plastic or yellow to replace the clear in the lights for turn signals, so i wont have to spray paint and worry about how bad they may turn out?
