re-assembly of rear lamp/no.plate unit
Sensible modern lighting, particularly at the rear, was a necessity, hence the fitment of the rear lamp pods. The challenge was to ensure that the original change of direction indicating system of arrows, which light up (without flashing) would continue to work with or without the pods being fitted, (and from the same switch). This was accomplished by duplicating the direction-indicating system wiring with diodes in the original system to avoid feed-back from the flashing system!
