Somewhere in the back of my mind has been to rig turn signals and brake lights. Where can you get the Euro Clip switch? BTW, unless the switch gets hot, I would just slip a baggie over it held in place with a rubber band. That will keep the rain off of it and still allow you to see the buttons. Do the red buttons glow so you can see them in the dark?
Besides, what they don't know is that these taillights pale compared to the one I will be adding soon.
Ha ha! Good one on those roadies! You can get some really good fabric glue (I think from those old time sporting goods stores that sell fishing stuff). It bonds well but you there's no chang'n your mind!
Here's the URL for those cool - but poor working lights

They attach to the seat post but I didn't feel that was safe esp with drivers who have depth perception problems. So I made my own hidden bracket from a plumbing T and attached it with zip ties to the trunk. PVC is painted black so it looks good. cool looking lights but their wiring connector is weak. Go over a bump and the L. Turnsignal comes on etc. I painted the Red switch that you saw in the prev pictures, because the switch was too hard to see at nite. Also there's a speaker hole in the top that took on water. A wasted $20
The brake sensor usually works and DOES help with traffic.
As for turnsignals, it's wise to have them to signal longer. But there seems no place to put them esp on the front of the bike. I'm sure turn signals could actually prevent accidents at some intersections.
