997.1 to 997.2 rear led conversion NEED HELP ASAP!!!

I everyone
I need some help & fast please. I've got a 2007 997 turbo that I've upgraded the rear lights to oem LEDs. I've purchased the front & rear control units needed & have done the pin swap
Black plug 14 to 34 & 6 to 21
Blue plug 42 to 31
Piwis setting taillight to LED, front indicator incandescent, side indicator incandescent
Everything is working fine except my rear indicator is dead.
Can someone please help me out here as I don't have a right rear indicator & this means its too dangerous to drive.
Thanks in advance for any help

This might help. If I recall he ended up not swapping the wires and programmed it.

Hello i just did this to my car 2 months ago and i have to say that it was a pain in the butt! To make this work you will need to replace the rear control modules located under the seat. You will need the 997.2 modules to activate the LED tailing option. Pin swapping will not work. Contact your dealer to have these ordered. Its gonna cost around $500.00 plus install and programming. Lucky I had a 2008 with .2 modules.

My only problem is that when the LED option was turned on, I now have a turn signal error code because they I don't have DRLS in the front. I didn't want to replace the front control modules for $700 plus. I guess I learned to deal with the warning lamp. Use the forum as a guide for the control modules.

FVD has a special harness that may work. Its about $500.00 but its a 50/50.

Good Luck. Msg me if you need if you need help.

Turboniun you're a champion thankyou for your reply. I have changed both the front & rear control modules both under the seat & in the front compartment. I also have changed the drl on the front bar to led & have also changed my headlights to the .2 as well. I've done the full conversion.
The pin swapping is what I think is the issue because I've got brake lights, reverse lights & park lights but no indicators. I'm going to take it to a Porsche dealership tomorrow to try & get it resolved it's taken forever
