Default No side lights

Hi i wonder if anyone on here can help me out. I did a retrofit from pre lci adaptive headlights to lci adaptive headlights. I followed the bmw instruction& used the retrofit kit added +mueb& now i have a side light fault. Both sides do not work everything else is working fine. Any info would be great.

Thanks

Just to make sure the term is the same ... side light = the round AE (parking light)?

Ahhh OK ... so did you do the LCI tail lights too? Do you re-call moving AE pins on the LCM?
If I remember correctly when I did my conversion I moved the pins on the LCM for the AE 'cuz the new AE require 35w as oppose to 10w on the pre-LCI.

Yes i did the tail lights aswel. There was no mentioning of moving AE pins in the bmw retrofit instructions. Do you by any chance still remember which pin it was exactly?

Ahhh that's probably why ... try & chk then move pin #25 -> pin #63 (GR/GN) and also pin #40 -> to pin #11 (GR/BL) on the LCM (X12) plug, this step is at the end of page #14 of the LCI conversion instruction doc from BMW.

GL!
