hmmm... but the e90 uses festoon type bulbs for the license plate lights (opposed to wedge).

but i read in other post that u have to mess wit the resistor (which sumthing im not capable of)

you don't have to mess with the resistors what so ever, cause the resisters are built in to the LED adapters... just straight plug & play. Here's the DIY from Shinchan that'll help: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63313

i got mine for $60 at a local hardware store. it's a 50 piece kit, so it came with all the bits and attachments for drilling, cutting, sanding... it's very useful and a very good tool to have around!

oh, and stay away from the cordless units, they tend to not be as powerful and the battary doesn't last very long between charging.

Shinchan · 08-19-2007, 09:51 PM

I got mine at BJ...$20 with 30 bit kit

It's actually a high-speed rotary tool. Dremel is a name brand of rotary tool. It is probably the most popular manufacture of such devices. If somebody at Home Depot does not know what a Dremel tool is, he probably shouldn't be working there... or you asked a cashier.
