DO take the time to ensure yours functions similarly before finalising your build.

You may be OK, KevlinK121's looks like it SHOULD work (not an EFR but should be similarfit): 2002 SE Kraken/2860 build in progress... perpetually in progress (see Post #42 for pics)

So, on this video I've made a custom front turning signal. This is a very difficult task, as it involve, micro soldering, and little bit of programming as well. Enjoy.

I can really appreciate the work done from programming and microsoldering, but fit and finish on the board install within the light using JB-Quik would drive me nuts.
