Need help activating inner brake lights

Hi,

I have a pre-LCI G30 with retrofitted LCI rear lights.

I’ve noticed that when I brake, only the outter lights get brighter, the inner do not.

Please help me code the inner lights for braking as well. Can this be done in Bimmercode?

Thank you

Turn signals appear to be working for both inner and outer lights (bottom amber strip, see attached )… or do i still need the extra wire for the red portion of the light?

I though it was the turn signal issue. With proper coding the brake lights should work. What coding did you do?

I haven’t done any coding on it yet. Previous owner had the LCI lights already preinstalled. Unfortunately, i wont be able to find out what coding he did on the lights.
