I ordered them in January, and paid £50 for them. Just click the picture and it will take you to the supplier/manufacturer - although there may be regional/ebay/amazon sellers now.

Don't know if they work or not as I've not fitted them, although I still want to fit them, it's just that I didn't know whether I was going to be able to keep the car or not with the way work was going so I just put these away in a drawer and forgot about them until I saw this post. Still don't know where they are, but my email showed the information I needed (from the order confirmation).

The reason I bought these over any of the other (cheaper) ones was that these promised to be a direct fit with no errors and no overheating problems like some have.

Would they shine that bright White/blueish colour like on the new 3 series?

There are many LED number plate lights on ebay. Sellers say the lights will not give error message.

What's the point of having LED ones? Looks or other benefits?

Just a thought:

2. a corm, tuber, or tuberous root resembling a bulb, as in a crocus, dahlia or cyclamen
3. any plant that grows from a bulb

Definition of a lamp....

So what illuminates you number plate......?
