Nick, it seems, Spiq is right. I just got it installed per your updated pin table list. No errors, from first point looks right. But Spiq is right, we have 2 stop lamps ON all the time. Something not right

Nick, probably I just dont know what LCI and DLR's stand for, can you translate please
We are missing some function? Light module upgrade needed? Or software to v25?
BTW, thanks alot for the install tips!

First of all, well done to Nick for getting these babies to work and the other key players for their contribution.
The fact that v25 was launched with the LCI probably has something to do with the minimal blinking involved on the LCI led tailights.
Now, with reference to the led rods and bulb taillights, I can confirm that normally when you switch the light switch in the car one step to the right, only the front angel lights and rear led rods only light up (and rear side leds) without any of the taillight bulbs lighting up.
I don't know what happens when the car is operating and full lights are on (2 steps to the right or auto setting) but I suspect there can't be much difference - although Nick's pics begs to differ - I don't know...
...can an LCI owner shed some light on this !!??

The taillights are ON like this. All (3) bulbs are lighting. There is none braking into the car.
I took the pictures myself so, I know what I'm talking about. But an LCI owner could confirm as well.
