Rear LCI conversion problem

Hi,

So the garage just done the rear lci conversion for me. They called to say that when you put the car into reverse the fog lights come on.

I remember reading somewhere that some wiring needed to be swapped somewhere but i cant find the posts anywhere!

Also been told that one of the indicators dont work at all. Does this mean a faulty unit? (EDIT: Its the NS Brake light that is not working not the indicator)

Thanks

No, its not required. I just need to switch the wiring around. I think I have found the guide to the wiring but i am wondering if the brake light is not working at all do i need to replace the unit?

Should just be a bulb Imy.

Just swap the pins round in the plug, don't cut any wires. Should all work then apart from needing coding.

Good luck!

Are you able to give me a guide of how the wires should line up as I'm having some real problems here. Thanks

Also I've been told brake light is not a bulb and requires a whole new unit?!

Edit: managed to sort the wiring. Was actually a very simple job took 10mins once I got the right order. Passenger side brake light still not working though

On my e93 I had to code it afterwards with Carly. Have you done that?

Nope not yet. coding will be done next week which should hopefully sort out the indicators.

Conversion really makes a huge difference, had the parts lying around for ages, really questioning why I didn't do it earlier!
