Instead of continuing with the previous long thread (http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=38905 ) I thought I'd just say that I've finally managed to get this working and put neatly inside a small enough enclosure. Its completely plug and play. The only issue that people may encounter is the intial strobing and occasional strobing of the turn leds which is probably down to the LCM model used on the car.
Attached a few photos of the kit. This one is being put together for Cwest in the US so that he can confirm that it works fine with US spec cars too.
The only problem so far that I've found is that it take too long to put each kit together because its completely custom made and put together by hand. It would have been nice to put this into a black enclosure but I can't seem to find a flame proof black box in the dimensions I was looking for.

If anyone is interested in the kit please PM me with your email address as well. I've started sending the new kits out from today. The key differences between V3 and V4 are that the LED rods are brighter and do not flicker, and the Turn lights do not strobe and are much brighter.
