Number Plate LED's??
« on: January 29, 2012, 07:35:22 pm »
Looking to change the standard yellowish rear number plate bulbs to bright white LED look. From what I understand I have to buy error free bulbs. Can anyone recommend a good site or link to buy these & also can someone please post pics of how they look on your car?

Thanks
Scott

I might have to give these a try, so far I have been through 3 sets - not cheap ones either - and all of them have burnt out!  :sad1:

Could just be pot luck if you buy ones that don't last. Someone bumped into the back of the car so when this gets fixed I'll change the number plate bulbs & my reggy plate.

I've turned off the load monitoring option for number plate lights on my car using VCDS so perhaps thats an option to avoid the error messages.

Still not got these as yet. Been in contact with the seller who stated that as they are coming from China I should get them in the next few days. Remain hopeful but will need to chase Paypal if I'm waiting any longer. :(
