Hi guys,
I finally got round to fitting my new LCI rear lights with the V6 cables.
After hooking everything up and testing them they work fine, but after 10 seconds I getting the warnings and beep on the computer, and then the led bars and the led dots on the sides turn themselves off!!!!
Leaving just the round light.

Anyone got any suggestions as I thought this was just a plug and play deal.

Sounds like a simple connection issue or worse a V6 cable problem. Either way you should PM Bruce - I'm sure he'll be ready to help.

Bruce is exchanging my cables for another set:-) could have been a sudden power surge causing a blow. Anyone who has fitted lci lights disconnect the battery first?
