you need coding to be done if you install the lic led version and they dont work correctlly, cause the indicator has to work on inner and exterior block, yours only works on exterior

Interesting... I did not see that anywhere in the forums. What has to be done to correct this?

Guess you need to code the rem module since thats where you connected the 2 indicator wires, if im right this is the optioncode SZGTA Tail light, LED

Thanks guys, I looked through those posts and I'll redo the wiring today or next week.

A nice set of OEM lights for sale on ebay.... scratch can probably be sanded, compounded, etc to look good as new.

So is it advised to wire the additional 2 wires from the inner lights to the REM module or attach to pin 1 on the outer lights?

I think is easier to just connect to the blinker wire on the outer light honestly xD
