He had taken a light is usually positioned right next to the yellow/orange turn signal of a car/truck, and put it on the front of his bike for a headlight. For his tail light, he got a hold of one of the brake lights from the tractor of an big rig and made it his brake light. He did have 9-Volt batteries for both of them with some kind of wiring that he had done.
I have two lighting systems that employ quartz halogen bulbs. Trust me they light up the entire road. In the past I have used a similar system and more than once have had motorists flash their headlights in an attempt signal me to "dim" my "high beams."
Sadly being a bicycle headlight it only had two settings, on or off.
