X609 is the trailer harness that is tucked away in the trunk - so, if you are able to pull those two signals from the pinout, you should be fine. On non-US spec cars the wires go directly from the LCM to the light bulb sockets in the rear bottom door
So if I'm reading this right, I should be able to do this:

Pin from back of euro headlight switch, 2 separate wires/pins to LCM, 1 to connector X38, pin 15, 1 to connector X12, pin 1.

Wire tap from each LCM pin, run down to back of the car, run into tail light plug and ground each light in the tailgate.

Does that sound right? If so thats almost too easy.


I've got a seller that ships for 65 euro a switch as per ebay.de, I'll ask him about VAT
