Yes!!!

Ok im going to get 4 project boxes, a SPDT switch, 8 white LEDs(because they run on 3 volts each i think) and some door bell wire from my vocational school.

Then i'll assemble it over this vacation and i'll have really long lasting front & back moped turn signals at a cheap price.

Plus if they break i'll know how they work so fixing them won't be a problem.
