I've seen a guy with them on ... one above the other.

Not to my liking but whatever turns your crank.

I was going to just use the bullet lins and the base on each end of the oem bar. Did his stick way out past the rear of the bike?

I would have to see that, but like Doc said if you like it who cares what anyone else thinks.

Just don't want them sticking out to far so they look funky.

No ... he used them as stop/running light. The lens was parallel to the ground, pointing backwards. They were located about where the stock light is.

Didn't see the one where Mikey did his. Did he use some 59 caddy ones?
