Best place to buy LED number plate bulbs

Sparky68 · 02-05-2013, 11:09 AM

Where is the best place to buy these?

Ebay?

SiofChester · 02-05-2013, 11:36 AM

In my experience, they are very hit and miss as to whether they throw codes or not. I got a set from ebay that others had said threw no codes, and they intermittently threw codes, so I put them back to standard. Planning on getting some genuine LCI ones and wiring them in when I get time

lemans 330d · 02-05-2013, 11:43 AM

I also put genuine ones in place of my conventional ones and they worked fine.

If you need a pair i can do you them for £10 posted genuine parts.

MPD78 · 02-05-2013, 01:10 PM

Mine throw codes too. I get the 'ping' and bulb failure alert although they are working fine. They were on the car when I bought it though.

What's the best way around this? Can a coder just cancel the warnings?

can you just fit OE ones in replacement of halogens? I thought you have to buy or make up a small loom section as well since the connectors are different on the LED lights.
After market ones have both types of connectors don't they?

I got these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2810316185...84.m1497.l2649

AWBimmer · 02-08-2013, 01:45 PM

SSDD (Teddy). I bought 6 months ago, the entire unit to just the bulb and I've never had a single error code. £25 yes pricey for what they are but hassle free

Dr Dave · 02-08-2013, 02:28 PM

Genuine all the way, no fuss, no errors.

Exactly what I have

sylonien · 02-08-2013, 07:18 PM

MTEC Cree ones, expensive but quality, so bright, no errors and ran for ages without fail. Very bright.

Have images on my camera.

Not sure what anyone went head with, but finally got round to fitting these the other day and they're perfect.
Super white and no error messages whatsoever

foggy e90 · 02-18-2013, 08:13 AM

SSDD I THINK THEY COST APPROX 30 pounds with no error codes

sylonien · 02-20-2013, 01:04 PM

Looks like I'm advertising, but I'm not. Brought a set for my 335i and now another one for my M3. So pretty! But expensive though. I deliberately underexposed the images to show how bright they are.

The chrome does flake/bubble like after 2-3 years. Shit!
