If that doesn't work then check your connections, there should only be two connectors, one in the centre of the back of the light unit and one in the far corner nearest the rear quarter. I believe that the centre one gives power to the bulbs, the outer one gives power to the LEDs.
Assuming you're xenon that's all I can think of as Pre-2012 (Pre-LCI) xenon equipped cars don't need an adapter harness at all, the lights are straight swap.
Can you tell us the part number of your light kit? The correct kit for cars with Xenon's ends in 282 |
Thanks for the response!
Its a 2011 135i with xenon headlights. 63-21-2-225-282 was the part number for the black-line taillights I have ordered from schmiedmann.
I dont think it was in the process of installation of the taillights that is causing this. As the taillights did not light up to unlock beforehand of the black-lines.
I have tried to reset the car by pulling the negative charge of the batteries out for 15 minutes(maybe not long enough?) and tried countless times to unlock and lock after messing with the configurations on the key setting(via steering wheel buttons; no nav).
I know it is a small thing that can be ignored but I am a person that cant handle these things
BTW the taillight led stripes work perfectly fine on all other conditions..(daytime running lights, auto headlights, parking lights, etc)
it just doesnt want to light up when unlocked
help is in need!
