Hi all,

I have replaced my number plate bulbs with CANBUS - Error Free - 6LED bulbs from eBay which have been fine.

However, the right side bulb keeps turning upside down inside the housing when the boot is opened/closed.

Any ideas how to get it to stay put on a 2007 E92?

Also, can these bulbs cause any issues with the electrics? I know modern BMWs require careful electrical maintenance and all.

I would also like to replace all interior bulbs with LEDs. Any recommended sellers I can go to?

Thank you,

I'm sure you can just bend the contact terminals a tad to made it a firmer hold. I had this issue when I replaced some of my bulbs to LED.

I had the exact same problem. Solution was to buy slightly bigger ones so they fit more snug. I tried the above but it eventually worked free again.

Forgotten what MM They were but I think I went from 36/37 to 39mm.

Just had a look and it's fallen into the trunk lid. Any ideas on how to get it out of there? I'm slightly OCD with my car so if there is a way I'd like to take a look

EDIT: I managed to prise the trim on the inside of the boot lid and it fell right to me. I slightly bent the metal on either side to give it a snug hold. Let's see if it lasts.

Glue it in, a light film of glue on the end will hold just don't paste it on to stop the electrical contact or so you damage it when removing

blob of silicone works fine and is easy to get off again
