OK Folks
The long wait is finally over for the pre-LCI cars who want the Special Brake light effect.
For those who don't know what this is all about:
In LCI cars or cars with the LCI lights retrofitted with my V6 cables when you press the Brake the lights behind the LED rods light up and thus you loose sight of the LED bars. With the modified version of the cables called V6.1 the circle bulb is used as the Brake light so that when you press the Brake there are no bulbs behind the LED bars and so they are not lost even while Braking. Infact while braking I've made the LED bars to also go brighter to match the circle bulb, so that it looks more even. There is no Strobing on the LED bars or the LED turn lights and ofcourse no idrive errors.
See picture below of V6.1 on the LEFT and V6 on the RIGHT. Hardly any difference during normal usage.
But when you Brake it makes all the difference.
Downsides:
1. In the EU you will loose the rear fog light.
2. In some countries and US states the fact that there are bulbs in the rear lights which don't light up may not be considered legal in the vehicle inspection.
3. You are altering the OEM position of the Brake light.
But you can't argue with the looks-cool factor of this mod.
I have reused a lot of the V6 design and parts so you get excellent build quality at a fraction of the V6 costs. The modules are mounted under the lights themselves used brackets which are included.
I am introducing the kit at a special price of £150 which includes p&p and payment is via Paypal. Compare this to the price of the V6 which is £250 and who'll realise what a massive good deal this is.
This price is limited only to the first 20 people who click the link below.

LCI cars are next and I should have something for them next week, just a few more things to sort out. But the biggest hurdle has been over-come, I managed to find the plugs required for both ends for an LCI car.
