HELP! LCI Blacklines not working.

I just received my blacklines from Schmiedmann yesterday. I own a 2008 135 convertible with Xenons. I ordered the xenon model. Installation was simple enough - unplugged, removed, plugged the new ones with both wires in each fixture. However, the LEDs don't work!

Am I missing something???

Try adjust the bulbs at the top right and to top left those are the ones that control the LCI LEDs there's a pressure switch that turns them on I installed mine and my left one wasn't working so I just found the pressure switch the connector might be upside down hope this helps

The connectors (both of them) only go in one way! The LED connector is the outer one in the tails.

Do you know anyone else with a 1er? You could unplug their tail light connector(you don't need to remove their tail light, just the inner carpet) and plug it into your LCI's. That way you would know IF your lights work or not.

Thanks, guys. It works now!!!!
Turns out i did not firmly connect the secondary plugs out of the main plug that goes into the fixture. Looks great on blue water!

Here is a picture with one swapped and one original. I will take pictures with both on, as well as with the lights on.
