(Heck with a second housing unit in the kit, maybe I'll use it and do the "Ktronik Blinder LED Tail Light" described in a thread at Endless-Sphere. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/vie...hp?f=2&t=13479 The video posted by the member who started that thread and has completed wiring his LEDs and driver (ambroseliao) is awesome. http://picasaweb.google.com/ambrosel...31406943924498

Good luck on your project. Make sure you look at Battery Space for mounting hardware. Their parts work very well and can be adapted to a number of different lights of you use some ingenuity
