Default BMW E46 Peeps

Would someone happen to have a wiring diagram for the rear light cluster on the 1998 - 2000 model and the face lift model?

ie what each colour wire does in both instances

thanks in advance

You mean from bulb to LED?

I doubt its as simple as just re-wiring.

E46 lights use Pulse Width Modulated signals to control the brightness (to do things like variable brake light brightness "brake froce display").

It would be very easy for the lighting control module to run the LEDS directly.
