With the fluted lenses we have on the D2, light output should actually be even more even and will most definitely be very attractive. I'm going to run 50% more LEDs on the board than on the second PCB I have pictured, so, as I said, light output should be VERY even. Here in the States the rear turning signal was red as well, and I had considered running a different color in order to get an amber turn, but I'm going full red. I also may play a bit with what portions of the lamps illuminate in different combinations (i.e. the complete red portion illuminates when taillamps are powered, including the rear fog section and turn signal area, and when those are operated the intensity rises.
If you crack this, I want first dibs on a duplicate set! that last pics is a nice even light, much more OEM
