LED Bling needed. Yo!
So I'm sitting on the pullout ont he Mountain last night with 5 other bikes and I realized it's too dark! At bike nights it's the same thing, 70 bikes in a row, one with cheap pep boys led's, no bling.
I'd like to add some flare to my bike, something i can flip a switch and get a little light on the front and perhaps rear.
Angel Eyes are an option but I'm not too sure if I wanna bake my headlights to split them.
The running/parking lights look promising, but I don't want to put a colored bulb in there because cops here dont like colors while running.
Cheap LED's are out, you know the kind they sell at PepBoys in strips and pods. I see those all over and they look cheap, maybe becuse of the install. Perhaps they could be hidden better for a better presentation.
Ideally I'd like a soft green glow that maybe pulses slowly (5 second cycle) where you can see the glow, but not the source.
Pics are appreciated, install tricks too, like wiring etc ...

drill out your passenger pegs, put high quality LEDs in.
bright running lights: supply 12V from brake lights. you'll be seen a mile away from behind.
bright turn signals: buy a 5 pin relay for each side, wire to stock turn signal in a manner that removes 12V every time the flasher blinks. this will give you turn signal.
I don't have any decent pics of it but here is the idea it was the first mod to my bike, even before exhaust swap:

Below is video of the lights I have on my bike, they are ultra violet purple, but show up blue on camera. I have 2 sets of the tantrum pods and police quality strobes, which get the most attention.
The music is also coming from the bike.

Yes 16 total, 1 set in the front wheel well, but a few pods are hidden and don't show well
the second set all face out ward, holes were drilled through the plastics, they are located on the front and rear reflectors, belly pan and lower wing,
The tantrums don't have a breathe function, they cycle through patterns and the speed of the sequence can be increased, they are most noticeable in a random flash pattern and with the speed of the sequence increased.
My LED's are controlled by a 3 zone controller and the Black Magic Remote Control that does have the breathe function, link below: http://www.customdynamics.com/videos/black_magic_remote_control_video.htm
I bought a lot of my LEDs from Custom Dynamic, but later found Oznium.com and the lights were cheaper, they also have a remote control that has the breath function. http://www.oznium.com/flexible-motorcycle-leds
I have let my LED's run for hours while in a party without draining the battery

Most of the angel eyes kits are either LED or small cathode tube rings. You could hook then up to breath no problem. I'm up loading my 14 that I did with thoses flex strips to webshots so I'll post it up when its finished. I have 10 of the 480mm (19in) strips plus singles and a couple pods on mine. Needless to say it glows green very well, lol.

a friend of mine does fiber optics... he called me the other day to say he's got a bunch of LED stuff for bikes that's new... I'll pester him for the info...

So, in the end did you get your Tantrums to breath with the black magic controller? sorry, wording has me confused.

I kept the Tantrums separate from the LEDs connected to the Black Magic Controller.
I'll try to connect the 2 systems over the weekend to see if the Black Magic Controller can power the Tantrum controller and make it breathe.
Anything past that world require more wiring than I'm willing to try, I have done more than enough finagling with the electronics already.
