So I was thinking about putting some LEDs on my bike. I was thinking of putting 2 12inch strips above the motor area and 2 12inch strips under the rear seat to illuminate the back tire area. I want it just as accent light not something super bright but I'm not sure where to mount the switch to activate them. I know some people using a toggle switch but I was thinking of using ether of these.

I did something similar with some bright down-firing red LEDs stuck to the inside faces of the rear reflectors, but I tapped off the brake lights so that my rear/tire/road go red when I'm stopped/stopping. Really nice at night as you can imagine...

yeah my biggest thing is just trying to find a place to mount a switch. i originally wanted to just mount a toggle style switch under the seat but don't wan to cut a hole anywhere so I'm wondering if maybe there isn't a gap or something already up under the seat i can use.
