But if I recall correctly, yes, mine does look like this. It may be LCI specific - since the LCI makes MUCH more use of PWN in the lighting systems.
And in fact, LCI cars already use the brake lights as tails - from the factory. In fact, they don't even have any 5w tail lamps at all - they only use single filament 21W lamps in all positions in the rear, modulating them to be either tails or brakes as required. |
So, basically, to my understanding, my model is a "pre facelift" and was simply not coded to use the brake lights as side lights, but the option is there, so it should be safe to attempt to turn that option on, but i can expect that to flicker like the upper taillight is currently doing.
