Vehicle: 2011 BMW X3 (x35i)

I'm looking to resolve my right outer tail lamp issue. When the car is parked but ignition on the tail lamp should be lit (similar to opposite side) but it does not.

I read i have to replace the LED driver. I did that but it is still not lit so i wanted to run a check on the connector. Does anyone know the pin connection for this? Which pins do i test and what to look for?

Also if anyone is aware of any GOOD service manual for the vehicle i'm interested in purchasing it. I do have a service manual PDF but i find it to be quite weak; it certainly is no Dodge Caravan Service Manual brilliance.

Thanks.

Take a look here www.Newtis.info. May take some digging to locate the electrical schematic/info.
Good luck/Bill

Replace the OEM LED board with the good one from Russia (Hyperlights). Get 4 boards, they will all fail. Check this thread.
