(looks very interesting... has anyone seen or heard of these lights before? ... even the back one looks brand new)

I think they are led lights, wonder who makes them.

The first is a brake, the second is a small cigarette case and the third is a web page.

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

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 ;)
