That's great, keep me updated and let me know if you run into any other issues. Enjoy :D

Update - Unfortunately the bulb failure message is still present. It doesn't come on when the lights are in use, but I get a bong and "CHECK NUMPLATE LIGHT" when I turn off the ignition at the end of the journey.

any update if jlevi can guarantee dash error free?

Bimmer360,
I'm just curious, what dash error?
I have V2 License plate lights but never had any?? :dunno:

For most X5s, these do not cause dash errors although there seems to be a few select production runs that receive errors but it's largely isolated. We just can't pinpoint what wiring or options cause the bulb out error on those few X5s. If the bulbs do cause an error, we'll take them back for a full refund.

ok, will place order this weekend.

Kenny i got the bulbs yesterday, thanks! However, i am still getting error message on my dash => CHECK NUM LIGHT. Should i wait and observe for a few days?

No. If it throws an error then please bring it back for a full refund. There is no fix for it right now. :(

i will keep it since the error dash went away. It seems intermittent and it is something that i can live with.

That's odd, must be a software issue. Have you noticed anything consistent that makes the error go away like turning the headlights on or off?
