Minimal Flexible LED Tail Light

Just wanted to share my new project with you guys. I bought a flexible LED strip from Radiantz (I think it's called the Z Flex) a few months ago and finally got around to mounting it. I wasn't sure based off of its size if it would be visible and was debating getting rid of it and going something more traditional. I gave it a shot and it is VERY visible and pretty bright, and it passed inspection which is always a plus  [thumbsup]. It is on a bracket that curves with the contour of the seat, and also has a bracket to mount a white light to illuminate the plate hidden behind it. I am pretty happy with it so far, I might refine the bracket I made just so it looks a bit nicer, during the winter months I hope to start on a custom tail section that will house the tail light. I can post more pics, and ones with it running if there is any interest  [Dolph]

Fantastic!  I would love to see more details of the mounting bracket, as well as pictures of the lights turned on.
