Additional Position Lights at the Rear of
the Vehicle
Lighting Connector
Description Item
Position Lights Pin 2
The feed for position lights can be taken from the
lighting connector, at the rear of the vehicle on
14405 harness, pin 2 (black wire), see figure
E151251 or direct from the licence plate feed
connector, see figure E151252, which is located in
the door. The maximum spare load is 10W per
side. The dealer will need to reconfigure this
output for the maximum rating 46W total.
NOTE: Lighting connector shown in E151251 will
require a local ground.

The position and parking functions operate
independently.
When the position lights are extinguished, the side
marker and end-outline markers turn off
simultaneously, in line with Inter Regs No 48,
which states the following:
The electrical connections must be such that the
front and rear position lights, the end-outline
marker lights (if they exist), the side-marker lamps
(if they exist) and the rear registration plate light
can only be switched on and off simultaneously.
This condition does not apply when using front
and rear position lights, as well as side-marker
lights when combined or reciprocally incorporated
with said lights, as parking lights and when
side-marker lights are permitted to flash.
Fog Light Connector
Connectors are already part of the wiring if the
vehicle is medium or high specification, (for
example with electrical side mirrors). The main
light switch will need to be changed for one that
includes this feature. (There are switches with
and without front fog light function).
Connecting to Lighting Information
Additional turn indicators must be powered
through relays (max 300mA), driven by existing
turn lights. The maximum load that the Body
Control Module (BCM) can drive is 3 x 21W per
side (front, rear and CAT 6 turn indicators); but
even if the vehicle is not fitted with the CAT 6
lights, the feeds for these should not be used as
the BCM would need reconfiguring, which could
have safety as well as functional implications.
