    See the attached picture.. This can be a design too, I hope this will look good once done perfectly... Can only Imagine now..

    Use of clear glass will benefit.
    good, but i 'm having a unicorn and this wont suit, as the tail lamps are bigger..i was thinking of a design like the cbr150's for my unicorn. Its not led, but a similar design with leds...
    2 strips alone might look good for the indicators...

    That's where we need to work now..

PLS help fixing the led's with a proper arrangement which is parmanent tough.
    did u use a led strip? Is your bike on dc?

    will putting that parallel resistor increase the power consumption?
    Yes, by a little. That is why all off the self LED units come with their own flashers. Do this for the looks, not for power saving.

    No. One extra resistor direct from +ve to -ve. Forgot the value. Like I said, I did not keep that set up for long though. Try about 10k and come lower.
    Ok...What exactly does that resistor do?

    we can put a variable resistance to adjust the blinking rate.. right?

    there is also a small device that corrects the Led blinking rates but i have not been able to find it . its available for 10$ online .
    It is just a resistor in there!

    Yeah, you will need one in parallel to the LEDs. It will decrease the rate of blinking to acceptable level. Yeah, i have tried it. Were not too bright though. Could fix only abt 6 LEDs. You will need to fix atleast 20 LEDs for adequate brightness.

    to connect these leds to indicators do we need to change the values of resistors? have u tried it??
