It's been like that since 2011. If you ordered the reverse fog it replaces the drivers side reverse light. It's a euro spec. We found out after ours arrived and were pissed about it. Plus if you didn't ask to have the washers for the headlights to be activated....guess what...they don't work. The parts are there but no wiring. another option that was once standard that the website and dealerships forgot to mention.

i guess the aero kit for 2011 comes with different tubes that channel the air to the breaks.
to avoid the problem i faced,guys makes sure you order the new aero kit 2011.
good luck

.
ps: i'm still waiting for my dealer to solve the air dukt problems , i guess he has to reorder the 2011 one

Sorry to revive an old thread.

dorykiki did you ever get this solved? I have the same issue with your #2 issue above... I have a 2011 LCI and have added the JCW aero kit and the brake ducts don't match the channels. Are the parts I can order to make this work better?
