LED Fog light upgrade

Just finished my LED Fog light upgrade on my 2014 Clubman S. I had the 520 fog lights so I used the OEM retrofit kit. Sadly, I can not get the lower halo to light up. All Connections are good because I rechecked them all. As far as I can tell I used the correct footwell wire also. So now what?

can you explain more? you should get full halo in drl mode, and then half halo when the lights are on. are you not getting any light in drl mode? if so, try turning off the drl option through the speedo. sounds counter intuitive but it worked for me. i had issues with the connection at the firewall too. i would double check that.

All good guys. In the end they all came on, they all work, in all modes, with all switching. Definitely did not work on the first try, or after troubleshooting. Now I have full halos in DRL mode. marker lights work, as do fog lights. Now, is this a good thing. Are they really working, or do they have an intermitant problem? Time will tell.
