Barn Door Halogen to Tailgate LED Rear Lights - pinout

You wont need to do any wiring if your get thq lights, its only when you get oem led lights that you need to change wiring
Ignore me. I thought this was the led headlight thread
I did exactly this. I ran two wires up the D pillar and across the rear top. I used to have oem halogen and swapped to full THQ LED well worth the upgrade for actually being able to see reversing!
Just retrofitted the T6.1 LEDs onto my 2020 T6.1.
The information in this tread was invaluable! So thankyou all! It was a bit confusing at points as my wire colors seem to differ from other people's, but I'm putting it down to T6/T6.1 differences. Managed to work it all out and get them working! Which is a bonus.
The indicators seem to be working fine with no issues, although i do have an error for the rear side lights. Do I need a resistor of some sort to sort this out?
Also, here's my very rudimentary wiring schematic if it's of any use to anyone. This is for a T6.1 with halogens going to T6.1 leds.
The asterisk denotes the majority colour of the wire. Also to note, I've got the fog/reverse switched on the RHS. Doh!

Just come across an issue!
My brake lights seem to be coming on with my side lights! Can anyone see any issues with my wiring that might cause this cross connection?

@Pauly might be able to help? or advise on the correct 6.1 lighting colours, he helped me with switching T6 halogen to LED
@david173 - What wiring mods need to be done to replace halogen with led lights?
Thanks @Pauly.
My van is a T6 and I installed the Transporter HQ V3 lights plus the smoked nlack fears. I asked Transporter HQ if I could run wires as you mention, but the said it wasn't possible. I don't know if their connectors are compatable. Is it possible hou could send me a photo of the connectors I need, and will compare them to the connectors fitted to my rear lights.

for a T6 the plugs are different so you need to use a pin removal tool to swap the plugs over really easy to do.
if you want reverse and fogs both sides (standard halogen has reverse one side only, and one fog on the other) you need to run two wires up between the lights to tap into the retrospective feeds. I ran them up the d pillars and over the top.
did you get the transporter HQ LED ones for halogen fitment? as they only have single reverse and single fog. you need to select the option on the Thq website saying you van has OEM Led fitment then swap the plugs over and run the extra wires.
