Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Did that and nothing!


Now I unplugged the tails, and find that there are 4 wires from the stock tail light harness and 4 pins on the LED tails, the only problem is that these "pins" on the LED tails don't line up with all 4 wire contacts on the stock tail light harness. I've tried bending them to one side with no success, should I try to move the 2 wires over on the stock tail light harness?


It looks like this on the socket for the tail:

[- - - - ]

And this on the LED socket:

[ - - - - ]



FIXED! UPDATE 9:20 PM (1 HOUR LATER)



All I did was move the blue/green wire from pin 6 to pin 4, kept my capactitors plugged in, and success! Everything works!!!!



BMW, I hate to say it. But you guys are friggin stupid, how many different ways can you wire tail lights for a car that was only made 6 years? I have found at least a half dozen other threads of guys trying to switch halogen tails and have had to move pins around in their wiring harness too!



Either way, all is working and I am happy, and now my X's ass looks phenomenal!
