Check the wiring in the headlight wiring plug compared to the one attached to the loom, im sure i read somewhere that some vehicles have a wire missing.

It a red wire on the bottom row of the plug, if I remember correctly.


It's not easy to get the lights to come on. The steering needs to be on an angle. The headlights on, and travelling less than 25 mph. Something like that. indicator on too. Then that sides corner light should come on.

Try a drive at 9pm. Should light up one side verge when making a turn


you could check the BCM for fault codes too

I'm not sure its worth the effort to be honest.

You ned to run 2 wires to the fusebox behind the glovebox.
Doing anything by the glovebox is a right pain.
Need to get the appropriate terminals. (martin the admin maybe able to assist)


The light connections are

Pin 4 + red
pin 16 - black ground

Pete I agree as it’s not simple at all. However if the lights don’t work won’t it fail m o t? If so I’ll sell them on and put original back shame really

No it won’t fail an mot

I’m sure you are happy with the xenon upgrade

Is was just that if it was easy, may as well have corner lights working
