Seem very effective at giving you extra presence from the sides, work well.

Where did you wire them into?

Wired to the brake bulb, interesting effect that i didnt expect is that they turn off when i pull the bake but as i have an extra brake bar it works quite well..

If i was to do it again i would use one 90cm strip rather than 2x 30cm as it would look much neater and give out more light but would need the panel drilling.

Next i plan to install some 5050 smd to the front as shown, should give good front and side vis. The 5050 strips are 10mm which give out more light (over the rear 8mm i used) so should help but could be tricky to fit...

Looks good. I'm waiting for 5050 waterproof ones to go into the red lens of the topbox.

They really look nice, but I am a little confused. What is the top set? Is it lights also? (Referring to the 1st and 2nd pictures).

The top set is an extra brake light as the large givi box reduced the visibility of the original lamp, it only comes on when the brake is applied.

Oh, I get that. I bought a Knight Rider sequencing light for ours and installed it above the tail light under the tail overhang.
