That's a very simple way to do it and been done a few times in the past. Nice pictures though to document the process. Not very bright in the overall scheme of things if you tried to use it as the only light on the bike.
 
IMO...for the 4 LED one

PROS:
Very bright, cheap, easy to install. easy fix if lights fails (any Walmart or parts store will have a replacement)....
If you can understand this.."had to make something work"
Cons:
to bulky..doesn't look OEM or like Scoobyvan's..

Here are some night shots....

will post parts 2 & 3(different lights) when completed..

That's what I use, it can be a brake light or running light. That,along with lighting up the radiator cover reflectors. Just a little more viability for the cagers to see at night.
 
I replaced my reflector with this....
