2012MY Rear Light Conversion.

Any advice welcome - I have purchased 12MY rear LED lights to fit to 2005 RRS & have ordered the relevant resistors from flea bay. The installation looks straight forward - if you wise men (or ladies ) know of any potential pitfalls - your experiences would be greatly received.

Andykay or x5pea on here will be your best bet as I believe they have both done this exercise.

If you go onto fleabay and put in sport rear lights, at the bottom of the page is dedicated resistors to do the Jobby. I was looking at lights but seem to come fitted with resistors. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

My rear lights came with the resistors already wired up, so I can't help with that part sorry!
They're the easiest lights to install though - 2x screws and they pop out. Use a plastic trim remover if they're not easily popping out.

Edit, I did find this from an earlier thread if it's of any help:

Quote:
you just need to earth one end of the wire and drill 2 holes to attch the resitor to the inner bodywork, the other end of the wire is soldered onto the the indiator wire either side after stripping the outer cover of the wire down about 1cm,
