Hi Nige,

I don't yet I'm afraid. However, the mounting will be no different to any other L542 rear light and if you already have separate indicators, they will be a straight replacement from a wiring perspective.

Any chance we can have a demonstration at Silverstone?
Nothing quite like seeing it for real.

Just to add even more confusion to the mix.
My (half) conversion is about to go into production.

I should have an update for you very shortly. The units have been on 24/7 test for the past few weeks to make sure they're going to be reliable.

Hi guys,
Just for information I have just seen the Europa version in action.
The indicator section works very well showing Amber through the red bottom half.
Being critical I felt that the rear light showed as three separate dots of light rather than an overal red that would have been from a filament bulb.
Overall it was certainly a whole lot brighter than my original style unit.
Hope your hard work works out Paul and look forward to hearing the final spec plus of course a price.
