images now fixed... hopefully for good. Moved them to another host!

Speaking of the rear bumper the paint has now started flaking during jet washing my guess is they did a really crap job compared to a panel I had done at bmw which is like the rest of the car. I wonder if BMW would respray the rear bumper even though its for a newer Z4 and not a standard part? Either that or can anyone recommend a body shop near sheffield where 10+ years on the paint is as good as the rest of the car? :rofl:

Update

Instead of taking power from the license plate lights, it is better to run cable from the reverse pin to the right side to the left side, and from the left fog light pin to the right side and code xon ncs expert as follows:

Coding with NCS, for 12v and 6v.

PWM_ANSTEUERUNG_SL_RE_HI = Change to 01 (Default 02)
PWM_ANSTEUERUNG_SL_LI_HI = Change to 01 (Default 02)
BREMSLICHT_ALS_STANDLICHT = Change to Not Active (Default Active)

For no errors:
CC_STANDLICHT_RECHTS nicht_aktiv Check Control (CC) - parking lights - right
CC_STANDLICHT_LINKS nicht_aktiv Check Control (CC) - parking lights - left
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_SL_LI nicht_aktiv Hot monitoring - parking lights – left
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_SL_RE nicht_aktiv Hot monitoring - parking lights – right
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_SL_LI nicht_aktiv Cold monitoring - parking lights – left
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_SL_RE nicht_aktiv Cold monitoring - parking lights – right
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_FL nicht_aktiv Cold monitoring - high beams
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_FL nicht_aktiv Hot monitoring - high beams

that way it remains OEM.

Thread resurrection...

Thank you all who posted with information and advice - this was a retrofit that was actually much less challenging to do than I had originally expected.
