LED numbeplate lights

Googlyamnesiac · 01-06-2010, 10:15 AM

Anyone tried these on a pre LCI Halogen?

http://www.ssdd-motorsport.com/show_...hp?prod_id=570

Looking to buy them as a direct replacement. Sorry if this has been done to death recently but even after searching the forum I couldn't find a definitive answer. There was a guy from America PYspeed I think offering them for around £40 but can get them cheaper from SSDD and wanted to see if anyone else had fitted them?

Cheers!

Beats me why anyone would want to illuminate their number plate anymore than required

Googlyamnesiac · 01-06-2010, 10:31 AM

Because I have a cool numberplate and like to show off?

Or Because the clean white light looks much better than a dull halogen?

Rob don't blast 40 quid on a set mate. I have recently fitted the error free ones from eBay. A few guys have fitted them on here they were discussed in a thread fairly recently. They were about 12 quid delivered and work a treat!

Found the other thread and read that the ebay ones seem to get too hot. Can you confirm? What would be the effect of them overheating other than them breaking?! Don't want to look in my mirror to see my rear end on fire!

Chris335d · 01-06-2010, 11:38 AM

I got mine from here and www.custom-neons.co.uk they work a treat. Will post a pic up later.

Googlyamnesiac · 01-06-2010, 11:40 AM

Chris335d · 01-06-2010, 12:02 PM

No I dont think so mine only have 3 led in each and the advert said they were error free. That add never. Let me go try and find them for ya.

acerboo · 01-06-2010, 12:05 PM

ssdd ones are good quality but you can just change the festoon bulbs for leds takes about 10 minutes and they look superb no errors. got mine from F1 autoparts £12-99 delivered on ebay just put in bmw number plate leds

Googlyamnesiac · 01-06-2010, 12:42 PM

Did I see on another thread that you found yours getting too hot? No damage done I take it?

They've been in for a few weeks now bud and no problems at all. They take 2 minutes to change and ma boot is still covered in snow so they can't be that hot!!

Googlyamnesiac · 01-06-2010, 01:00 PM

cool - were they these Mikey?

SiKkBaSs · 01-06-2010, 02:28 PM

Never thought I'd say this but go dealer, that's where I got mine from.

Googlyamnesiac · 01-06-2010, 03:23 PM

ive seen these on ebay before and want to change mine. what i dont get though is - are these just the bulbs or the bulbs in the holders? is it a case of just replacing the bulbs, plug n play and it works?

creepy coupe · 01-07-2010, 06:58 AM

Mine has them as standard, don't all 2009 cars?

xenon · 01-07-2010, 07:35 AM

Mines a 2008 and has LEDs as standard. (e92)

Googlyamnesiac · 01-07-2010, 07:39 AM

think they are just standard on LCI

xenon · 01-07-2010, 07:40 AM

As I said above, my april 2008 (pre-LCI) e92 has led number plate lights and door lights as standard. Perhaps it's just the e92 they are standard on, pre-LCI.

E902717 · 01-07-2010, 07:47 AM

My pre LCI 08 E90 has them plus the ones on the door handles..
