Every piece of external light (minus the taillight) I made myself using Cree LED emitters.
A few additional features that aren't shown in the video are:
When the brake light comes on the turn signals illuminate to 100%.
If you use the turn singal while braking the turn signal goes back and forth between 100% and 120%; just enough to notice it's signaling while braking.
The amber lights turn off automatically when it's bright outside to conserve power.
The headlight also transissions from night mode (low beams) to day mode (only high beam).

Nice Job,
I fear we will hear some new UFO-reports if you are passing with all lights flashing ;D

Very cool! Love the handlebar ends... Did you have to drill a hole for the wiring? Or maybe they're all Bluetooth ;-)

Yes, two tiny holes had to be drilled into the handle bars to run the wiring. The LED emitters are attached to the bar ends with thermal epoxy. So the handle bar itself acts as a heat sink. I then used two contact (like for your eyes) packages and silicon-ed them to the emitters to protect them from the elements.

Wow - clever thinking!
