You've connected the plugs and they've got bulbs in? If so I can't see why they won't ;). Check the connnectors/bulbs.

As far as I know the wiring and bulb layout is the same, just that the facelift ones do away with the chrome trim.

Regards, Bruce.

should just be a matter of tapping into the side units brake lights, then running a cable from the lights, up the boot hinge and down into the center unit, you should only need to run the 'live cable and then connect the negative to the boot metal work

Daz,

they aren't meant to work. For some reason there are stop andf tail lights in the centre bar but no electrical track in the fitting to support the brake light function
