F series footwell light upgrade
I recently bought from R44Performance, a small company based in the UK, some LED front footwell lights for my LCI F10. The parts are supplied from the US.
When I fitted them I found that when I selected Classic (orange) in iDrive, the new footwell light turned white, (the rest of the ambient lighting was correctly orange), and when I selected Modern, it turned orange - ie the coding is the wrong way round. R44 is contacting the US suppliers but the guy I spoke to seemed to think there might be an issue over the white light being called Modern/Sport in different cars, but to me Classic is orange no matter what the white light is called. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or is there a solution to this? I believe these lights should fit all F cars with the Classic orange Modern (Sport) white ambient lighting choices. Many thanks |

I've checked the new part with the OEM part. The plug has to be rotated 180 degrees to fit into the new part, which then swaps the colours around. Puzzling. I can't see why that has been done or how to get around it!

Just switch pins in connector. I got from China RGB replacement strip and I had to switch two pins for R and G in connector. What to say, cheap replacement and no quality control at all.
Best regards Borut |

Yep, just pop the pins out and reverse them. Had a similar issue with aftermarket sequential turn signals in the mirror.
