Hello,
I just noticed the other day, if the lights are switched off and you press the brake pedal, the brake lights and LED rear lights come on. Does this happen on anyone else's lights who have done the LCI tail light conversion?
Cheers
Jas

Isn't that the way brakes are supposed to work?

This is the way I designed this. The LED rods are connected the Brake light instead of the Tail Light so that your Parking Lights still work.
The Parking Lights are when you move the Turn indicator to one side after you've removed the key. That side angel eyes and the LED rods will come on.

Yes the adaptive feature has always worked on all versions including the V1. The Parking light feature works differently in the US and I just found out that it is different in the US. If you want the Parking light to work on the LED rods in the US you need to swap the pins 4 and 6 on the plug with the 6 pins. Brown being pin 1.
