Re: [DML] Looking for the definitive LED Taillight part numbers

Hi Rob

I'm one of thsoe Thrifty ones :-) Seriously there's  reason you probably 
haven't sold many "across the pond" and it's because on your replacement 
boards, the modification to run the inner lights as fog lights (which is 
part of the original design of the board and the plug - the un-used pin 
in the connector) is not there and the tracks on the board are much 
harder to modify. For those who don't know, it's a requirement over here 
to have high intensity focused red lights which can be turned on 
independently. The inner brakelights on the D -are- actually foglights - 
if you look at the beam pattern, they're not the same as the outer ones.

The original boards can be patched up quite successfully as far as those 
pesky rivets on the bulb holders go, but the connector where the plug 
goes onto the board still causes problems.
