Installed - Inner Lights Don't show Braking
Hello All!
Really need some quick help! I'm located in California. I just bought the NA lights and installed. I switched the wiring in the 2 connectors for the inner lights and they are definitely correct however I'm not getting the braking or flashing of the brake light in the inner lights... They turn on when headlights are on but when braking the inner lights are not getting brighter. Only the 2 outer lights are showing the vehicle is braking... Am I missing something or was I sent bad lights? (Picture is with the brake pressed) Thank you! |

Thank you guys for the quick response. Think the coding was done wrong. Everything works but the inner lights not showing braking... Get those errors if I start the car immediately. I will live with it for the time being.

So if I understand correctly, the coding just makes the inner lights come on with the outers then? What other things happen without the coding? Just curious. I haven't heard back from Vic on a time to do mine, but I have them ready to install and wondered what would happen if I installed them, but had to wait a couple of days for Vic. Is the car not driveable or just doesn't function 100% until coded?
Thanks all!

I drove like that for few days, and so did few other members while waiting on parts or coding. Other motorists on the road will still understand what your car is doing. Won't be dangerous. Just not pretty. Hope it makes sense |

I sent this to Joe in a PM but I'm case anyone else knows where this 5th wire gets put? I can't send pictures in PM on my phone for some reason. Thanks!

I have the Euro wiring schematic with colors but I'm not posting it here. It's proprietary. Shoot me your email over DM.

I ended up going with euro lights because my 13 year old liked the welcome lights. LOL
I got them installed thanks to euro and Joe. Seriously thanks for taking the time for the write up euro and thanks Joe for the help on wiring and doing so much research that I could read through. Now to get them coded so everything works as intended. I only broke two black rivets too which is a new record for me with interior panels. My car is a 2017 540i USA car but it had 5 wires installed. It's a good thing too because the terminals I ordered came in a plastic bag and UPS crushed them in transit lol.
