Hi

Does this help u at all , included the different headlights as wasn’t sure what type u had

Hope that’s useful to u
 
Plse let us know what kind of faults ur getting as may be able to help further
 
If its for tow bar use take a look behind nearside cluster in the boot, think the plug is already in there.
If not 5 minutes with a test light will tell you all you need to know.
 
Hi thanks for all your help to all I really appreciate that ! Always count on good support here , I'm fitting 2 70 inch sidestep lights with repeater indicators they have a white light to wire to back headlight live , a wire for repeaters/indicators on either side and a wire for light comes on when cars unlocked ,I can wire the car unlock light that's no problem it's just the repeater indicator wire and back headlights live wire, I have a Light for both sides of car so will have to connect separately either side , so I'm thinking if I can find the live left and live right indicator pin on towbar plug I could wire it to them.and same with back headlights.
 
Hope this also helps as it shows the European and NAS towing style wiring setups, along with auxiliary

I guess you are bot in the UK (?) as it's not legal to have illuminated white lights on the rear of your car, unless it's a switched reversing light...

What do you mean by 'back headlights' ?

You may find the new reverse lights draw to much power from the rev light circuit and the bcm might shut them down, if that is the case you will need some relays, fitting lower power bulbs in place of the rev light bulbs currently fitted might reduce the draw on the circuit.

Hi mate

Is that also to do with the canbus circuit plse with them operating at different speeds on the later D4’s plse, thks

All good fun as they say when the newer canbus speeds change on the later models

Assume ur talking about the same thing where some special modules are required for certain MY landies if led bulbs are fitted so that they all run in synchrony

Absolutely no idea!
Just thinking out loud that the car switches on X function and expects to see Y power draw, then when it sees excessive power draw I can see a potential issue.
 
My interpretation is. He wants side steps to light up when headlights are on (closest source is rear lights) and also indicators.

So I would say picking up from the tow socket (as @lynall ) would be easier/cleaner.
Would the extra draw affect I have no idea but knowing how sensitive these new 1s are it could.
