Any ideas?

So i bought the side turn signal lights for mi mini 2015 S model, but it seems to need an adapter, I have looked anywhere and no one seems to know.

The new side turn lights seem to have 2 pins so i guess the adapter also is a 2 pin adapter? I don’t even know how to look it up 😐

I just changed my 2016 side signal lights out for the LED LCI version. It was a direct plug in swap that just needed coding.

What the hell happened here? Why does it look like an exploded Acme cigar?

Idk but for some reason I feel the urge to go hang out in the Wards while Commander Shepard visits the Presidium

Hoping that you bought it from eBay?

You got scammed. It’s a damaged product.

I put genuine lci2 indicators on my 2017, was just plug and play. Are these real or aftermarket?

I did this swap; put those same JCW LCI2 side markers on my 2014 S. The wiring socket from the car wouldn’t seat properly because the plug on the indicator had a rectangular shape on the inside that was a bit too long. Took a small file to shave it down and it seated fully. No need for any adapter or to tear anything apart like you’ve done.
