Help! Led rear lights

Can anyone help me. I've just cut the plugs off my old lights ready to splice onto the new my2013 rear led lights, had all my tools at the ready. Diagrams printed off ready. Oh it seems my new lights have a different wiring pattern to the diagram I have.
Does anyone have a diagram or know where I can find one?

Hmm, not being funny but if you can't work out the wiring for a few lamps should you really be attempting this?
It should be straightforward to work out where each wire goes and relate it to the diagram you have.

Hi thanks but no. This was the video I had drawn my diagram from but the lights in the link have a different loom to the lights they supply.
Taz I'm usually rather handy with wiring but for some reason this now has me stumped Sad

Do the new LED lights have small circuit boards fitted? The CAN bus will be connected somewhere and it may be that you have less wires than actual lamps, not familiar with FL2 electrics but most CAN systems on the kit we have work like this.
So it may not be straightforward, is there anything on Chalkeys thread?

... Just found Chalkeys thread, 6 wires and straightforward but doesn't say how.

Can't you just figure out what wire is what and go from these diagrams Question

It should only be the break and earth wires that needs changing, all the rest stay as they are

Got it. Had the earth and tail wrong way round :-/ also connection for the brake had come away at the plug.
It is the same layout as the old plug but as you say just a matter of swapping earth and brake.
Maybe not the best of nights to attempt after 14hr days at work all week.
Thanks all for advice.
