On the back bottom of the bags. I do not want to drill through the fiber glass. I am trying to find hollow bolts for where the bags mount to the rails. Any thoughts?

some nuts and bolts, in a drill press, and drill it through yourself?

I've never heard such a thin that you could buy.

Do they have to be wired through the bag? There is no power there right now.

With tail lights, higher is better.  What about a brighter single light up on the sissy bar? (I've often wondered why more folks don't mount extras there; just because you have to hide a wire coming down one upright?)

Also, I have seen plenty of flush mount LEDs that attach with double sided tape and no hole even necessary (unless you want a small hole for the wire) (they weigh almost nothing).  If mounted at bottom of bags, the wire could run underneath, and no hole in the bags at all.

I just recently mounted red LED's on the sissy-bar, I would post pictures but the forum here is not conducive to an easy method of picture-posting...

I used existing holes to run my wires, but ran the wire up under the passenger seat, and had ti zip-tie the wire to hold it. The LEDs have an adhesive backing which holds to the sissy bar. If I could find a putty of some sort to hold the wire, that might let me get rid of one lonely zip-tie.

Hollow bolts and disconnectable connection in the bag. Here is an example of a "Hollow bolthttp://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/496/Replacement-38-16-x-1-12-Hollow-Bolts.
I saw a lot of led panels, I am leaning toward a truck product, the entire back is a water-proof adhesive.  (No connection with Kuryakyn)
