Well, I just didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I wanted more visibility with brake lights. I went to Autozone and they had some flexible, waterproof, LED lights for decent prices that have a 3M backing on them. 36" was 35 bucks and 8" was around 10 I think. So I used a combination of the 99 LED mod and the kuryakyn 4710 install to turn the two 4" strips (from the 8" package) as turn signals.

So first I took apart the trunk shell. Took out all the screws and it dropped so that the only thing left was the shiny top attached to the hinges. Then I used this light....

I took it and cut off one side's wires.  I cleaned up the lid and stuck it to the lid just like the 99 LED mod.  I then drilled a hole in the lip of the lid to run the wire up so that all my wires could be put between the top shiny part and the plastic part I just removed.  Then I took off the side lights of the trunk and cut open the bottom with a dremel.  I put the 4" led strip in there and left the bulb as a running light.  Drilled a hole for the wire to go through as well.  I have a feeling this might let enough moisture in for it to fog up, but I think it'll still do the trick of getting me noticed.

Next I found a place to route the wires.  I routed them all between the two upper shells, however needed a place for them to drop down behind the speaker.  There's a screw in the case lid JUST above the speaker that holds the lid parts together.  I figured the lid had enough screws so I just widened that hole to accept all the wires, and then cut off the part that would hold the screw on the lid's shell.  This way I can put the wires there, and not worry about them not fitting or getting pinched.

The part hold the screw cut way down... The hole widened...

After putting all the wires in and routing them back to that screw hole, I put a thick piece of heat-shrink tubing over all of them to neaten them up and make it easier to route them.  I put them behind the speaker and ziptied them to the existing wire loom.  

Then came the positaps tapping into power for brake, turn, and signals.  That information I used the 4710 mod thread for.  I found the wires after searching for about a hour and tapped into them.  Taking a cue from another poster, I attached these wires to a standard 4 pin hitch plug.  The reason being that now I can STILL remove my topcase if I want.  If I had directly spliced them, I couldn't.  This way I just have to undo TWO plugs.

So then you solder the grounds to the ground of the other 4-way pin, each one to it's respective wire, wrap with electrical tape, and put it together.  All done!

Took me a couple hours, but I was working slowly, I'm unorganized with my tools and "lost" my allen key and all the LED strips multiple times, and I changed the way I did it about four times.  I settled on trying out the running lights AND led flashers.  I don't know how long that will last with the cut out lenses, but I figured I may as well give it a shot!

Here's a video of the finished product in my garage....[URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqTnNgLPVUQ

Not bad.  We'll see how long the stickiness holds up.  Especially the turn signals.  I changed my mind on location for them a bunch of times so I ended up using superglue to attach them.  We'll see how long that holds up.

Just curious about the 4" led strips. Were they red or clear leds?

It's hard to tell by the above pic (flash caused white out). 

Also I would think you could use some automotive goop to reseal the cutout pieces in the upper trunk light lenses.

Nice write up

Yeah...I think you made the right choice using red leds.

The sequential lights would be pretty sharp looking too. 

Would be nice if Polaris/aftermarket made some amber lenses for the top trunk lights to use as turn signals.

UPDATE...

Didn't like that there wasn't a drastic difference in the daylight with the turn signals and running lights, so I switched things around a little....With a little maneuvering of the wiring that was already up there and some not careful enough drilling (but I made it barely work) I think I came upon a nice solution.  I stopped the trunks lights from being running lights, and they are now turn signals.  Also, I added running and turn signals to the chrome "victory" plate by gluing the LED strip to the back.  For those attempting it in the future, please measure and drill better than I did, or use SINGLE LEDs instead of a strip.  Single leds you can just measure and drill evenly and put one at a time in there.  LED strip made it MUCH more difficult as if there was a slight imperfection from one strip to another means you can't just measure, and if one hole is just a LITTLE off, it won't line up prefectly.  Took a little squeezing and superglue, and perhaps a few choice words before I fit them in to be "acceptable".  I have a feeling I'll end up replacing the plate with another one in the future and take MUCH more careful measurements and do a better job.  I'm considering this plate my "test run".

 Plate being drilled....

Running lights...

Left blinker....

Right blinker...

If I were to hit the brake and have the hazards and take a photo at JUST the right time...

Something to think about....

Will eventually just buy the LEDs that plug directly into the trunk lights, and replace the V with LEDs.  I'm also thinking about taking this test chrome back plate, and somehow cutting out a VERY small portion (outline if I can) of the word "victory" and having it show with a red glow either with the brake lights or ust as a running light.
