Light module 2, the module that control our lighting system. Pre-lci have the LM1, LM2 is an updated version, which control the welcome lights, DRL etc... I am still learning. But google it along with E60, you will find more info.

How do you achieve the Ricky brake effect only with coding ?
i wonder if the rods are connected to rear fog lights only and if so then the following should work right?

RL_BL_2_BREMSL_FKT inactive
RL_BL_BREMSL_FKT inactive
NSL_BREMSL_FKT active

I don't think you can achieve the Ricky Brake by just coding, you has to be physically move the wires around. Unless you know something internally that I don't know of. The fog and the rods are independently connected. You have to take at the diagram that I have posted in the previous post.

well what's feeding the rods then ? Cuz the rods aren't connected to brake lights . It's not lci car so obviously rods don't have separate wire coming from lm2 to them so it has to be connected to something

There are only 6 wires in the connector from the car . Ground , inner bulb , outer bulb, reverse, fog and the led blinkers . So rods arent connected to reverse light, blinkers or any of the brake lights so that leaves only fogs .

Once I get home from work I'll try to code that only fogs light up when intake and we'll see if it's going to work. My bet is that it will

Yes I know that, that's why I told you to look back a few pages for the wire diagram that I have posted. It shows you how to wire those rods up along with the fog light. You will also need to install diodes in the fog and and brake wires to prevent the 2 (+) currents simultaneously cross each other and blow out your fuses. Good luck bro
