	You can put Hyper-Lites (LED modules with flasher) in the extra pods. You can see the installation and a demonstration [http://www.obairlann.net/~reaper/motorcycle/ninja/hyperlites/ here]. They're very effective, plus they give you extra running and brake lights if your incandescent center bulb goes bye-bye. $80 or so shipped. Get the generic dual-function model (for running and brake lights) [http://www.hyperlites.com/~~unikits~~.html from this page]. They may not be as easy to install as the Kisan, but they're cheaper and provide a number of additional benefits.		You can put Hyper-Lites (LED modules with flasher) in the extra pods.

	For installation in the two spare pods, it's recommended to undo the two bolts holding the rear taillight on the bike, and install the Hyper-Lites with the light assembly off the bike. It's a very clean installation; you can hardly tell it's there until the extra lights come on.
