Pray tell what car for sale in the UK has this?


I can't think if any in the UK and would doubt any in continental europe
either, though as dennis says, the light clusters are re-configurable
over CANBUS, so you can alter indicators to be amber running lights, or
pair reversing lights with indicators as a wig-wag pair, or make brake
and fog lights flash as indicators etc

The stupid light clusters are the ones where amber indicators surround
red brake lights or vice-versa making one merge into the other when lit.
