LED licence plate bulbs
 

I just found (and ordered) these in Germany:

they come with an integrated resistor so iDrive should not display any faults... :thumbup:
A 3 year guarantee is included
This could help board members that have difficulties with shops that either refuse or overcharge shipments to Europe, Emirates or whatever...
They will arrive in a couple of days, I will post 'before' and 'after' pictures

thanx for sharing :) but i wish that i could read dutch so that I can order them now :p

please don't insult me (I speak dutch), this site is in German ;)
I would be happy to translate for you, just let me know

I made my own LED Plate stuff for my 335i.. and no error at all..
This weekend.. i will swap them to see if the same stuff works....

I guess he did not see you location.

:wow:

ooh sorry !! I did not mean any thing :)

no problem, don't worry, it's a common mistake...
All in all, Germany is a nice country, too bad they have so many germans :bustingup

Just installed these this afternoon
no error message and cool color... :thumbup:
took about 2 minutes to install...
(sorry 'bout the dirty X5...)

Looks great ! Do they help, in any way, to the illumination of the path for the rear-view camera (I see that you have one)...?

:dunno: I have not tried it yet..
my guess would be that they won't help in any way... but I'll give a try tomorrow

I just came back from a test drive...
The view in the rear view cam of objects that are close to the car (and I mean close as in the trailer hitch or something) is clearer but there's no noticeable difference on the wider view...
so back to the drawing board to improve the camera...
