Hello from the States, unfortunately the CT was only available here until 2017. I managed to upgrade my headlights, tail lights to the 2018+ LED model. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully upgraded their Gen 2 2014-2017 with 2018+ LED tail lights? My turn signals are not working appropriately. I have two friends who have the same tail lights on their Gen 1 2011-2013 with no turn signal issues that are wired the same way I did mine.
I've placed them on my 2015, however I am running into issues with the turn signals not working (still a work in progress). I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to electrical so I don't know if I need a specific type of resistance, canbus, programming, etc.- LED flasher relay installed (hyper flash / signals noted on gauge cluster), signals on tail lights wouldn't turn on with 12v
- Resistor 50w 3ohm used with no luck/signals did not turn on, or user error

I used a voltage adapter/reducer to see if lowering the voltage will work (4 settings only: 9v, 6v, 5v, 3.3v)
- 6v = hatch / gate signals quickly blink BUT outer lights do not turn on
- 5v = outer signals (1 LED only) work with correct speed BUT hatch / gate signal does not turn on
- 3.3v = signals do not turn on
I've attached a .MOV video file but do not know if the video will work. Not knowing much, I'm going to assume it's some sort of electrical changes on the 2014+ models that differ from the earlier/gen 1 models. If I'm unable to find a solution, I will likely cut open the tail lights to modify them with sequential turn signals.
Anyone upgrade to OEM 2018+ LED tail lights?

A friend of mine found out that we needed to tap/splice Combination Lamp Pin-6 (Green) to a 12V source / Turn signal.
