Wiring Diagrams for U11 Tail Light

Ivsbimmer · 09-09-2024, 04:02 PM

Hi Team,

I am trying to switch my US tail lights to EU, but I can't find the wiring diagram.

The US tail light is usually missing one cable, that has to be run from BDC to the light.

Coding will be another headache, but will deal with it later.

No info in my ISTA, nothing in NewTis.

Can some one help with the Diagrams for the outer tail lights left and right tail lights.

Thank you

Not helpful for your question, but I am curious, why are you switching? What advantage is there or what functionality do you gain?

I think he likes the amber turn signal separate from the red brake light.

The EU Rules require the amber turn signal to be separated from the break light

Can't offer any help, but I wish you good luck. The coding part I don't believe anyone has been successful thus far, as ID8 and ID9 seem to be locked down pretty well on the X1. Bimmercode seems to have given up on it as well.

Ivsbimmer Did you have any luck with the project?

Ivsbimmer · 11-10-2024, 03:00 AM

Not yet. About to start the project. Will up-date as soon as I have any progress or a way forward with it.

Hope you can do it. I have always been a fan of amber turn signals.

Hello all,
Finally I have my amber turn signals.
As you know, the modules are locked for fdl coding, so the problem was solved by replacing one of the
CAFD files from ECE type code vehicle. Also some wiring was done because the inner tail lights lost some of their feature. Finally everything is working fine, with no errors.

Congratulations Ivsbimmer

Put more details to help next X1 owners with this issue in the future!
