Did you read the entire thread? There is several links to the appropriate vendors for this upgrade. Good luck.

Here, I got my error free LEDs here...

I installed a rear camera with a built in LED light on my license plate light receptacle hence I had code errors perennially on my dash. I can only install 1 of these 2 error free LEDs on the receptacles so what I did was open the rear panel, did a wire tap on the line going to the license plate light receptacles and installed the LED bulb inside the rear panel (soldered and rubber taped). Finally got rid of the "CHECK LICENSE PLATE LIGHT" error code!

I didnt want to start a new thread since there are so many, but I wanted someone's opinion on these LED License Plate lights. I never seen these before but they are from Bimmian.com

Here is the link:

These are the actual assembly that plugs into the trunk lid. I have yet to find a pair that doesn't give me an error message on my dash.

Tunerdomes.com "PLATES" bulbs, I have them on my X right now and on my other car as well, no errors!

I found that when installing the new bulbs I had to pinch the ends of the bulb holders in a bit so that the bulb stays put and doesnt move at all, when I initially installed them they had an error because the holder was loose from removing the old bulb. Scott free since then!


Oh and I got a full LED interior kit from ebay for 60 bucks, seller is "phillipsxenon" and I am thoroughly satisfied with them!

How long have you had them installed without errors? I don't think mine have resistors, but they were also advertised as error free. They were error free for about a month and now they barely illuminate. They will illuminate very dim, if i tap the clear lens cover it will light up but after an hour or so they will go back to being dim.

I thought I'd chime in here ^^

I ordered these (along with some other stuff) off Bimmian about a month ago and they were on back order, they showed up yesterday.

I tried to get them to fit but they just won't, I mean I can get them in there and mounted and even lighting up but they just don't quite clip & lock in how they should! i.e. you bang on the tail gate to simulate a harsh bump and they just pop back out! So I took the LED unit out of the lens and stuck just the lens in, it fits well which means the LED unit is rubbing on the inside (I could actually see a witness mark of where it had rubbed fwiw) So I will try and find the time to modify them this weekend or next..

In conclusion they are rubbish and my advice is save your money and buy good globes if you can get error free ones, I am pretty disappointed with this product given the price. Mind you the Weisslicht Halo LED's are awesome!
