Rear Light Facelift Update Cheap How to
- Thread starter yg54sg
- Start date
This is not working for me. I swapped the pins as specified. I validated the pin swaps in the BMW manual. The right side is woring fine, the left side is all screwed up. Left turn signal flashes the left upper LED at a very rapid rate. It should be flashing the amber. Something is wrong.
Hmm thats weird .. On Nahodos blog its told to do this way:

lights arrived today.
I gave them a go, and everything worked great after coding (HUGE thanks to nahodo)
Correct wiring clusters for me was
Left side
1 Black-yellow
2 empty
3 brown
4 black-green
5 gray-purple
6 blue-green
Right side
1 blue-brown
2 gray-yellow
3 blue-black
4 brown
5 blue-yellow
6 empty

Another lemming 
After months of searching and missing out on rearfaclift lights on ebay, I managed to pickup a set for £110
They were a tad scratched and dull but i used a restorer to get them back to a near new condition
I should be getting my Ebay M rear bumper and frames back from the painters next week, but have wimped out on the rewiring and recoding, as i have found a place near Birmingham that will do it for £80 - if all goes to plan i will post some pics and details -
Bitter, sweet... This maybe my last major mod

Ranski tell me how this goes as I haven't got the gear to code mine

May seem a daft question but how do you open the boot? It looks from the pictures that the rear spoiler is attached to the rear wings or is it just me?
Personally I don't like the rear spoiler. I think it spoils the lines of the car... but each to there own

Some say, that rear spoliers are only put on certain types of cars to give you something to easily push when they break down...
I'll reseve final judgement once it's all sprayed up, though +1 for wouldn't have one fitted myself
The spoiler is a matter of preference. Personally the only exterior design element of the Z4 that has always bothered me is the duck tail spoiler. The Hamann spoiler is attached to pedestals on each edge of the trunk lid. They are more visible here because they are silver and contrast against the color of the car.
