When you think it's better to buy the 'Proper' GIVI stop light for your Top box!

After suffering simultaneously failure of both the rear tail and stop light bulb on my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, I decided to fit an additional stop light. These were available online from £8, however I was dubious of the quality, ease of fitting and brightness. I decided that if I spent £38 on the correct GIVI 108 stop lamp, designed to fit my GIVI 370 box it would be easy.🤣🤣
5 hours later, it is finally fitted, but fitting is not for the faint hearted and is certainly not straightforward.
1. The instructions are of poor quality, unclear what they refer to, with a poor parts list and rubbish photos.
2. The new lamp couldn't be assembled as the LEDs were to big for the reflector, which had to be drilled, then the circuit board didn't line up with the back and had to be filed.
3. The finally assembled unit wouldn't fit in the existing red reflector, which needed a slot filed in it.
4. The picture of where to drill a hole in the lid was rubbish, so careful positioning and measurements required.
After all this the light actually works well and i like the contact system as the lid opens, and the base pins mean the box can still be removed.
