My Ride: 2009 535xi fbo w/stage 2+ MHD
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have a 2009 535xi and apparently have a set of 2003 K2 lights I'm attempting to install. Here's how they are wired up:
Left Side (Driver Side)
.....................STOCK Harness .................................................. ........ K2 Tail Light Harness
Tail light....... SW/RT(black/red) ---------------------------------------------------- Blue/Green
Brake light... GR/GN(grey/green) ------------------------------------------------- Brown (& Red)
....................WS/RT(White/ Red) ------------------------------------------------- Brown (& Red)
Turn signal.....BL/SW(blue/brown) ------------------------------------------------- Yellow
Reverse.........WS/GE(White/Yellow) ---------------------------------------------- White
Fog................GE/SW (Yellow/Black) ---------------------------------------------- Red
Ground..........BR (Brown) ------------------------------------------------------------ Black
Right Side (Passenger Side)
.....................STOCK Harness .................................................. ........ K2 Tail Light Harness
Tail light....... SW/BR(black/brown) ------------------------------------------------- Blue/Green
....................WS/SW(White/Black) ------------------------------------------------- Brown (& Red)
Brake light... WS/BR(white/brown) ------------------------------------------------- Brown (& Red)
Turn signal.....BL/BR(blue/brown) -------------------------------------------------- Yellow
Reverse.........GE/WS(Yellow/White) ---------------------------------------------- White
Fog................GE/RT(Yellow/Red) ------------------------------------------------- Red
Ground..........BR(Brown) ------------------------------------------------------------ Black
K2 Tail Light Harness
Ground----------------------Black
Driving “tail light”----------Blue/Green
Reverse---------------------White
Fog??Extra Brake------- Red
Turn------------------------- Yellow
Brake------------------------Brown
All is working the only issue I have now is the tail lights go OFF after about 30 seconds and I get an error "Communication with SMC disrupted"
Errors:
9CBC: LM: Communication with SMC, left, disrupted
9CBD: LM: Communication with SMC, right, disrupted
Now if I plug the stock setup in on the left the lights stay on and only the right dies with
9CBD: LM: Communication with SMC, right, disrupted

Circled in Red are the tail lights to make life "easy"
Circled in Blue is the question I am having....
For the Left tail light it appears that the "Brake Light" is 2 wires:
GR/GN & WS/RT (or Grey/Green & White/Red)
and
For the Right tail light it appears that the "Tail Light" is 2 wires:
SW/BR & WS/SW (or Black/Brown & White/Black)
Would I be correct in reading this? So I should combine 2 wires for the brake light on the left and 2 wires on the tail light on the right?![](https://e60.5post.com/forums/images/smilies/iono.gif)
I tried to tie them in and same result... lights go off after about 30 seconds.
So basically now I need to figure out WHICH wire to tie the SL+SML (SMC) wires into
