Hi, thank you for answer.
I understand. So I don't need to rearrange the wires in the connector since I have facelift correct?
So I would need to run 2 wires from each taillight either to the FRM or use the license plate lights?
Do you need NCS Expert or something like this to code it?
By the way is there any downsides to routing to license plate lights instead?
Downside of running LED strips from license plate lights is extra current draw from the connector, but many folks here were successful in doing so, without burning their car to the ground. Yes, you need to code in new taillights so when light is on auto, you'll get just the LED strip and nothing else.
There are LED, but there is two of them, and we are not sure how much current overhead BMW left on that connector for license plate lights. Also, it is far cleaner to do it from the FRM.
