Amazingly, a search on Google for "turn signal lights bicycle" (with out the quotes) turns up several sources for the signals. Google is your friend.

Differing on most points. LEDs are light and can be large enough to run on trailers or whatever. As I'm traveling a decent, I need to signal much longer than can be done by hand. In rush hour, same...to get the drivers to see me sooner.
I need front and rear signals, brake and running lights all one one circuit cuz my Cl*pBrite Euro clip broke in a bad spot so please post alternatives??..
