Numberplate LED's
I have a bulb out on my numberplate so thought I might aswell get new led ones but there are 2 different types,
complete new unit's http://www.ebay.co.u...=item416ebc3c0c And just bulbs http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3cca027723 Will the bulbs be just as good or is it best to get a complete new pair of units. |

And are you asking for LCI or Pre-LCI number plate bulbs?

Sorry didn't realise they wasn't working, will re-do the links when I Finnish work. But it is for a pre lci. On my e46 I changed just the bulbs but didn't know if it was different for the e90 as I also found complet new units available with led's built in but are over 3x's the price.

Speak to Teddy at SSDD Motorsport (on holiday until end of Jan). I bought the units off him for £25 and they've never let me down. Looks the part too. I'm sure you can also change bulbs, but as I changed the units, it was about a 10 second job, if that!
Alternatively, have a search on ebay for the units and you might be able to get them cheaper?! Also, see this thread.. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...r+plate+lights G.Luck |

well.. i believe the block units found on ebay are significantly brighter to the led bulbs. i use to sell these in Manchester and found that the block units last longer than the bulbs in the long run. Hope this helps/

£25 for rear number plate bulbs? Fella seen you coming.
Buy the bulbs off ebay, I cant remember the excat size now but £5 should easily cover the cost - just checked: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2PCS-3-SMD...item3ccd59f62f Open the boot up, take a small flat head screw driver and slide the units left (IIRC) and then switch the bulb out put the light back in. Simplez. |

No worries chaps. Straight forward fitting... push the fitting to the left (as I recall) and you should be able to ease it out of the boot lid to replace the bulb.
