![]() ![]() Pin 2: Brake, Black-Green (feeds Pin 2 right inner thru trunk lid) Pin 2: Brake (feeds from Pin 2 in right outer) Pin 2: Brake (feeds from Pin 2 in left outer) Pin 3: Red Stripe (feeds from Pin 3 left inner coming from controller compartment) Pin 2: Brake, Gray-Black (feeds Pin 2 left inner thru trunk lid) Now here's the wiring for my US-spec car (MY2012): To give an idea of the rationale, here's the wiring for an euro-spec car: Again, with a little care and patience, no need to remove pieces to route the cable.īuild your adapters: Either remove the pins from existing connectors by unlocking their tab, or use the new pins. ![]() You will also have to run a second pair of cables (white) from the controller panel, with the left one going under the metal trunk lid trim over to the rear left side of the trunk, and the right one just being long enough to reach the outside. ![]() While I had to remove the plastic covers of the trunk lid, I *did not* have to remove the headliner or D pillar lining just run the cables using a hard wire or similar thru the D pillar into the lower portion of the trunk walls. Run the extra (pink) cables from both sides of the trunk lid into the D pillar as shown. *Heat gun, to ensure the wire splitting for the above cable is insulated from the elements *Two rolls of speaker cable (one pink, one white in this guide) to run two cables from the outer adapter to the inner lights thru the trunk lid (pink), and two from the gray cables out of the controller compartment to the outer lights (white). *VCDS, to perform the coding to controller 46-Central Conv. In my case, I was able to reuse the most of the outer pins, and used brand new pins for the inner connector. Note: Despite what's reported in other posts, with a little care, you may be able to release and reuse pins from the existing connectors by inserting a needle into the upper part of every pin and unlock the tab that keeps it in place. Given the limitations of the Kufatec adapter at the time I embarked in this project, I decided to make my own adapters.Ġ00979009EĒ : Inner connector pins (ground) Upgraded my 2012 Avant from incandescent US-version to facelift European LED tail lights and thought someone may be interested in this writeup. ![]()
