Hi Delboy,

So i did some more digging after updating my own lights today and I have a theory that those outside of the US don't need the elusive extra cable to make the inner clusters light up...

Take a look at the video below of a US based facelift and you can see at 8.45 how different the lights operate. Our equivalent of brake lights are indicators in their case...and it means the inner clusters also need to blink hence the need for the extra cable.

Just my theory but would be interested to hear what others think.

Thanks,

Oli
