[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1450038, member: 19880"] I had that kit on my '07 Givi trunk. No end of problems with having to "adjust" the upper (lid) contacts. Also, the contact from the Givi rack to the bottom of the case was sometimes problematic. Dirt and moisture meant it had to be cleaned regularly. I didn't do the initial installation and I never really took the time to troubleshoot it and try to make it totally reliable. I can't say whether the installation was part of the trouble or not. Overall, I didn't think it was really worth it for the slight additional visibility. (This was a V46 with four small round lights in the middle above the latch.) The flashing Hyper-Lites I have on my 2011 are far more attention-grabbing. Mine have red running lights, flashing brake and yellow turn signals. Good visibility but not startling. [/QUOTE]
