Reverse Lights Not Working

I have the LED kit for Zoom

I have a 2001 x5 - the brake lights work great - just the reverse lights don't.

Is there a specific fuse for just the reverse lights?

I just found this thread. Need some help. I don't even get pulsing, just no lights at all from the parking lights. Everything else works just fine, Brakes, indicators, and reverse lights work great and look fantastic, but the parking lights don't turn on at all!

if the light is still pulsating after installing the capacitors, the prob is likely due to bad connection at the tail light. it can be the bulb holder or the cable connection to the tail lights. i had a cable connection where the 1 of the pins was totally corroded and carbon build up at the bulb connectors causing the tail/brake lights to dim or flicker.

What about if the parking lights just won't come on? I noticed something that was mentioned earlier in this thread. the number 4 port of my OEM BMW connections are left empty but with these aftermarket lights there are pins in 2,3,4,5. How do I fix this? Can you just pull out the pin and move it to a different port?

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. The connections on the top are from the aftermarket lights. The female connection on the bottom are OEM and connected to the car.

Can I simply move a male connection from the aftermarket lights into a corresponding port?

You will need to rearange the male connectors on the Zomk lights to match the female connectors on your OEM car harness - I had to do that too with my 03 4.4
Check the 1st and second page of this thread about this problem...

so I can just pull one of the male connectors out with a pair of needlenose pliers? I tried today but it was in there real tight and I didn't want to break anything which is why I thought I'd check here first. I understand I need to rearrange the connectors, i'm just not sure how to do it without breaking anything.
