I was really impressed with the brightness level and it seemed to help maneuvering around automobiles.

The first problem i encountered was that i hit the back light fixture with my foot, Also the general size of the light fixtures are a bit big, a smaller container could be used.

The zip ties also proved to not to have a good enough grip from preventing the light box from moving from side to side, this could be fixed by using hose clamps, which i will get in the next few days.

Putting in a way for both lights to be flashed at the same time would improve this project thus allowing for a "warning light"

Here is video for the final product:

Great instructable, was exactly what I was looking for. The only adjustment I'd suggest is to have the beta cases on the back flipped horizontally because it's not easy for a car following to tell which direction you'll be turning because the right and left turn signals are only a few inches away from eachother.

In the second video, you have the left signal on, but you are turning right. Kind of defeats the purpose I think.
