I could have sworn I've seen something like that before... They're lights.

It's actually a Coast flashlight mounted to a brase-on with an old brake leveler strap. It's bright. It'll knock your eyes out, but it's got a narrow beam. It takes three AAA batteries. I've never replaced them, but here in Minnesota it's daylight until 9 or 10. We'll see when fall comes. Downside is that it's about $40. The rear light is a Bruce Gordon bullet which accepts one of the small end of the handlebar lights. Neither of them are "real" lights, but more "be seen" lights.

Coast lights aren't the best for the money. There are brighter and better designed LED flashlights out there more suitable for mounting on a bike, IMO.
Look into Fenix, Nuwai, to name a few.

I bought two alum bodied lights with three LEDs in each, they work off of three triple a batterys and the allum body assembly is about an inch longer than the batterys, hooked them up in a similiar fashion, it cost me all of $2.00 for the lights and the brackets were made from old plastic reflector hangers
