thanks for anybodys help in advance,

Since i bought my 2016 R last year it came with a rear tail light issue.
the outer tail lights completely do not function. i found a work around to just make my inners functions as breaklights and blinkers so i didnt look into it much.
i recently bought and installed the Helix 7.5 euro lights hoping that it may have just been the light assembly's and that these would work perfectly fine.
unfortunately that isn't the case and the same exact thing persists with them as well. no i do not have warrenty.
as far as troubleshooting goes i have done the following;

verified OBD11 Coding is correct and is the default adaptations
verified the aftermarket lights work
checked possible fuses
did battery dc/rc
note: after digging i found that there isnt a single wire in common between both outer tail lights.


any and all help would be greatly appreciated as im at my wits end and desperately wish to have working tail lights and blinkers.

For both outers to not be working this would still be my bet on what's wrong. If it was something physically wrong with the wiring it would give you a fault message of some kind. Were you able to compare with a stock 2016 R's coding?

What was your workaround for making the inners function? Before that did it just have 0 function?
