I'm currently waiting on delivery of all the bits to give my car the same front end as the "R". Whilst waiting for this I need to get a converted set of "R" LED light clusters to accomodate an indicator in the same housing, ala the standard car.
I went to collect the "R" version lights today (unfortunately Verve only had one in and the other is on back order - so I need to go back next week) and had a good look at the unit. Basically it only uses 5 LEDs, the light of which is reflected from the back of the unit.
Iluian is currently working on a prototype where the white DRL goes off whilst the indicator is active. When the indicator is switched off the white DRL LEDs in that housing reactivate.
Iluians current design for the R housing has separate white and orange LED strips, but I was thinking that wouldn't it be much better to have the whole indicator housing either be white or orange as needed? If Iulian can adapt the R LED units by simply adding 5 orange LEDs and his control circuitry to make the white LED go out when the indicator is flashing then surely this would be a more attractive solution?
I've emailed him to see what he thinks, but basically this is what I mean. Have a look at the animated picture below and the drawing underneath:
