Yes, this is the one....they come in many different resistance value.

Is the exact one? Because I can not find a 220ohm 25w wirewound.

the one speced here says ".01 ohm 1% DALE"

I didn't realize searching for the resistor you speced was going to be so difficult.

You can try Radio Shack in the states or Newark Electronics might have them too.

sesegal99 · 02-05-2007, 02:24 PM

so is that the right resistor???

MWcoupe · 02-06-2007, 01:57 AM

how come you only need 3 resistors? shouldnt it be 4? i want to get this done asap. really not sure how to do this. i need a more specific diy

shocka1212 · 05-28-2007, 12:03 AM

do you know where i can get these?

rikuF10 · 05-28-2007, 02:44 AM

Hi guys,

It doesn't really matter if it is 3 or 4 resistors. In my case, I just need a resister value from 80 ohms to 100ohms to be parrallel to the LED bulbs. Therefore, I put in 3 resisters of 220ohm in parallel.

For different numbers (or type) of LEDs, you might need a different resister value. You may have to do some caluculations......or just buy a few resister of different value to test.

Hope this helps.

ok... i know very little about resistors or wiring or anything like that... i do know the warning lights are driving me crazy. im going to try this licenseplate mod. i also have leds in my reverse lights. are they recognized by the ecu? if so can i add these wires to the parking lights with the license plate wires or is this too many connections. i want to remove all warning lights asap. my trunk is preped and ready to go sooo someone tell me what to do please

BoostedBMW · 07-27-2007, 05:53 PM

Nice write-up!

I think i'm going to end up swapping out the license plate lights for LEDs, they look great.

Shinchan · 07-28-2007, 03:12 PM

you don't need resister for LED license light.

works for both E90 and E92. No warning light.

There will be error for the first few seconds if the temperature is low. RikuE90 and I have been running this Luxor setup for more than 6 months now. During the winter time, the error warning will come on for a second or 2 and it will go away but it doesn't happen during the summer time
