LED licence plate bulbs
 

Im looking for some LED licence plate bulbs but dont want the error message to show on the dash.
Does anyone know what brand to get and where to get them from ?

Thanks

Shipping is quick with automotivelightingusa and I heard from other members bimmian takes awhile for shipping, I do not know with bimmian since I have never ordered from them until yesterday.

Hi,

Here is your solution.

Get two (2) 9LED - 39mm festoon globes.

also buy two (2) 50 ohm 10w resistors
(here is a good link, http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search)

(the picture is the wrong picture - but you want this item)

then just attach these resistors to the bulb tip "housing" which has the bulbs sitting in them.

You will get error free LED license plates use then :)

please let me know if it worked/not for you

How does the light from LED bulbs look differ? Anyone got a picture that shows it ?

Thanks!

It's difficult on the E70 because the bulb out warning system is tied to the license plate lights. You can go with our License Plate lights but you will need to wire in resistors.

Thanks

I fitted some of these tonight after buying them from ultraleds.co.uk.

They look absolutely fantastic, but unfortunately they flicker ever so slightly and also activate the "Check Licplate Light" warning message on the dash. I'm therefore going to fit the required load resistors to cancel out the warning message, and hopefully the slight flicker. I think the flicker is actually caused by the LCM checking the status of the bulbs.

Oz X5 - How has that specific value of resistor been worked out? does the LCM activate an error based on a minimum level of current draw?

radio shack doesn't seem to carry these resistors anymore anyone know any other way to get by that lic plate error?

Weisslicht makes a great product. You can order from Bimmian. Took me 10 minutes to install both and they look great. They match the color and brightness of the door handles LEDs to give you an idea. Night and day better than stock!
