LED number plate lights
« on: October 14, 2010, 05:10:29 pm »
Anyone got them? I can't really justify spending £35 for them at awesome!!! I want one of similar brightness to BMW ones.

Many thanks

I got a set from the bay,

Never had a warning come up in 4 months.

Cant remember the seller but they werent from china! All i can remember was they were listed as mercedes canbus bulbs.

Cost me about 8.00 for the pair.

Got similar on mine as well, they need to be the ones that are fault code safe otherwise they come on, then the car thinks they're broken and they turn off and you get a warning on the dash.
They are a must have tho i think to make it look more modern, esp if you have puddle lights and xenons

They look White enough for me! Got jealous of a 320d that my dad had as a courtesy car this week when he drove past with the bright plates! Just ordered the above eBay ones, I assume that the price of £12.99 is for both bulbs?

These arrived this morning so 10/10 for speed of delivery!

Only thing is I broke the housings on both plate lights trying to get them out so need to replace them now before I can fit the LEDs!  :stupid:

I've got these on mine and no problems, been on for months now

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLF-MK5-NUMBER-PLATE-LED-XENON-WHITE-NO-CANBUS-ERROR-/320509903502?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4a9fe1028e
Just got some of these as well.  Loads better than the standard bulbs.  Easy to fit - no indication of which way round they are meant to go, but with only 2 choices, it's not going to take too long to suss it out!  :happy2:

Bargain!
