Ford Cortina/Capri Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hi, I've a new shape 2018 focus St line x. This car comes with standard bulb type rear lights, unlike the titanium x that has led rear lights as standard. I've just bought a full set of the led type from a titanium x but have a problem with the outer pair. The inner pair in the tailgate work fine with the led side light working. But, the outer pair, the led strip isn't coming on and it's using a bulb.side light instead. The led brake light seems to work but is also coming on as a side light. Indicator works fine but that is a bulb anyway so the same. Has anyone done this conversion and does it need a wiring mod or a body control module reconfiguring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Heaton Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Quote I would imagine they need coding in so the ECU knows they are LED. LED have very different power profiles than halogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 You need to configure LED rear lamps in the BCM using forscan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris S Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 You need to connect the yellow and white wire in the lamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4RC Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Anyone still looking to do this... Its extremely simple and requires no programming at all. Just connect the white wire into the yellow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frowma Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 On a (very slightly) related note, when you have adaptive cruise on, does the car apply the brake lights when slowing the car to match the speed of the vehicles in front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware, it would be illegal if the brakes were applied (by manual or automated means) without the brake lights been activated.
