just did this using a BIC pen cylinder (empty obviously) and an old credit card!
The pen cylinder is floating, and the credit card is cut into a small triangle and glued to the two points on the circuit board |

Serious? This whole thread shows how you can make something that replicates that white piece for practically free.

ok, so does anyone have one? why put a crappy piece in there that can potentially rattle when the white piece can be had for relativly cheap, except for people that just want to rip people off. I am about to pull it apart I will probably fabricate something but I though I would ask if anyone had one.

Its called justification. I can't justify spending $65 on something I can make and then use that money to something I can't. That's the going rate 4 blackout grills now.

If you buy the switch, you'll have an illuminated button.
I know, nobody probably cares...I'm just saying haha

I just did this mod using the 'official' Euro switch. Hence I have a spare white spacer. I'm willing to give this to the first person to respond to me via e-mail. I'll tell you where to send a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (I think it will fit in a standard legal envelope) which I will use to send you back the spacer. Good Luck!

Just wondered if anyone did the mod to ONLY light ONE SIDE?
If so, did the adaptive braking lighting still work on the other light? (So european that way ) |
