For the LEDs themselves I went through
Custom Dynamics.
- 2 red on red strips of 50 LEDs each for the brake
- 2 amber on smoke strips of 40 LEDs each for the turn signals
- 1 clear on clear strip of 6 LEDs for the license plate illuminator
- 1 dual stage converter (size 4) to make the brake lights actually be brake lights
I also had on hand two
beefy resistors, which came in handy -- when I hooked everything up, all of a sudden both my front and rear turn signals were LED-based so there was no resistance to make the flasher relay actually do its job. Note that if you do this sort of thing and still have the front stock turn signals, you probably won't need these. I got them when I first got the Oberon bar-ends and didn't need them then.
For the actual metal bits, there are essentially two pieces:
A.) A piece of aluminum bent to (approximately) the rear curve of the seat, welded to two other pieces of aluminum that run under the seat to two of the tail assembly bolt holes. This has the brake lights on the outer side of the curve, and the license plate illuminator on the inner.
B.) A smaller piece of aluminum L-bracket secured to the other two bolt holes, used to hold the license plate.
The turn signals are attached to the passenger brackets, and all the wires run rather nicely up into the back area under the seat behind the charger.
Will take some close-up pictures when I have some better light!
