CA Bay Area e60 owners. Need some help with my LCI tails
Hey friends.
I had Simon do the rewire for my LCI tails to achieve the "Ricky Brake Effect" quite some time ago. As some of you might know, he's gone MIA (I think he took on a job back in the homeland). My driver's side brake lamp (fog bulb) stopped working about 3 weeks ago. I swapped the bulbs from one light to the other and both are working just fine. I'm not that great with all the wiring stuff, hence the reason I always had Simon do my work. Hopefully I can touch base with any locals who may lend a helping hand and point me in the right direction. At the very least maybe plug your light in and see if I just need to buy a replacement. Thanks in advance.
I'm thinking it may be a blown diode or possibly just a re-soldering of some sort.
THANK YOU

Still have my number? I can take a look at the wires for you. Yeah might be the diode.
