E93 euro LCI tail lights harness issue

E93MAC · 01-01-2014, 06:52 AM

Hi I purchased some LCI Tail Lights for my 2007 e93.

While the driver side works fine the passenger side does not. After doing some research and seeing this thread here:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=744670

Tried Solution 1:
The pin out change (while leading me in he right direction) did not fully work for me. I set my pins to that correct layout in the post above.

Tried Solution 2:
I set my pins to replicate the color combination of the pins from my car:

Pin 1: Yellow
Pin 2: Black/Blue
Pin 3: Purple/Blue
Pin 4: Black/Blue
Pin 5: Brown
Pin 6: Blue/Brown

Neither of these tries worked for me.

So I come to all of you in my time of need

Do any e93 owners (that have installed the Euro LCI tail lights) know the pin layout that I need to use for the tail light? I'm thinking maybe e92 LCI retrofit guys can help me as well by checking theirs.

If you can confirm the driver side and passenger side pin layout on your harness that would great!

Happy Holidays to you all and Happy New Year!

My harness is exactly the same harness as these

You basically make the passenger side mirror image of the drivers side.
Alternatively remember that one of the cables are brown being ground.
If that is not hooked up right then nothing will work.
So change every one but that one until you get the right combination.
But doing mirror image of the other side should work

Ok good to know, only thing is the other side has two yellow wires it looks like, while the passenger side only has one yellow. So I am having a hard time with mirroring it. Unless I am doing something wrong or can't see properly. (Which could be the case, Haha)

Maybe I'll take another picture tomorrow and post exactly what I have.
