Read https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showto...st&p=538966 if you want more instructions to get to the lights.

When you buy the V6 you will get two modules and two brackets with the screws.

Its best if you have either one of the tools shown below to get to the M5 screws that hold up the lights. It'll just make it easier to get to the last screw.



The brackets need to be attached to the modules on the opposite side of the wire exits as shown in the photo below. The picture shows the Left and Right modules on the Left and Right side of the photo.



Then you can hang the modules off the bottom screw on the lights itself. Use the Left hole on the brackets for the LEFT module and the Right hole for the Right module. The picture below is showing the Left module being installed.



The modules if installed correctly will be at an angle to the edges of the rear and side edge of the car. Its designed this way to allow air flow behind the module as well to keep the resistors cool. The air vents need to be vertical (i.e. top and bottom) so that the heat dissipates upwards and away from the modules from the top. The cool air will constantly come in from the air vents just above the wheel arches / below the modules.



Try and keep all plugs and wires away from the module if you can. However there is enough of a heat sink provided for the modules themselves to be safe.

 

Ah...I got the V6 cables and didn't know what those brackets were for, now I know.

 

Hi Bruce.
Will the adaptive brake lights still work with the cables?

Thanks.

 

Yes

Made up some instructions because of late a lot of people have been asking me for these. Even with a LEFT and RIGHT sticker on the cable, people have installed this the wrong way around!
