These are the ones I bought  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/36mm-3-SMD-LED-239-272-C5W-CANBUS-NO-ERROR-WHITE-INTERIOR-LIGHT-FESTOON-BULB-/290624141898?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43aa8c7a4a

If you do buy these ones, they're sold as singles so make sure you order 2  :happy2:

Cheers,
Ben

I upgraded the whole unit to 24 smd ones and they were a lot brighter

About £30 delivered. I've now done the same on my BMW e93 and they look great

I might still have them if you are interested

Where were they from mate? and did they just clip straight like the old ones?

Im planning on upgrading to LEDs, but one of the pins on my number plate light holder has snapped, so I either need a new holder and LED bulbs or just get some new LED unit.

I managed to break a light holder too, replacements were £6 odd each from the stealers.
