I love when customers get creative. This is a great example.
I first started talking to Dr. Dan Schubert in early 2008. He got wind of the upcoming arrival of ISIS and wanted in. I remember him telling me that he was an early adopter and wanted to be the first ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System customer. His MASTERCELL and POWERCELLs have hand-written serial numbers 1, 2 and 3.
Dr. Dan has come up with a practical (as far as kit cars can be practical) solution to the problem of back-up lights on the Factory Five Roadsters. He has a pretty clever mechanism wired into an output on his rear POWERCELL that drives a mechanism that drops down a reverse light from the car's frame. When he takes it out of reverse, the mechanism retracts the light and it hides back in the frame.
You can see a video of Dr. Dan's handy work at the link to his Photobucket site. You can also see the pictures of his overall Factory Five build and his ISIS wiring install.
