I got them done already.. LA E60 I thought you did the resistors already for the lic plate LED?
If you want I can pick them up this Thursday and you can pick them up from me if you want.

Can anyone confirm if these are the proper Load resistors to use for the licnese plate bulbs? RL 2525
I guess I can calcualte it... eh... i'll do it tomorrow. time for bed right now... but as for the wedge type being a 25W load... and our plate bulbs being only 5W... Ummmm *shrugs*
Rear license plate bulbs:
#239 - C5W
12v 5W
38mm x 11mm
Whats the Reverse Bulb Volt and Wattage? Bulb number?

If you can get them for me it'll be great. Just tell me when and where to pick them up, thanks Iceman.

Anyone nice enough to write up a DIY with pics?
sorry for the delay folks i did take the pics with my digital just have to upload them sorry for the delay the pics really don't do it justice but they look really good. I promise i will upload them as soon as i can. I was able to put the resistors for the license plates thus eliminating the idrive error message. The reverse lights will be a little of a mikey mouse job since there is no where you can actually set them on. I beleive you will have to put them in parallel and we should be able to use the same resistors as i used for the license plates. The rear blinkers and front blinkers will use the heat sink resistor shown by EBCMS that is the correct one according to my research. I beleive you can set them on parallel but will have to find a place with a metal backing to screw them on to. This is for heat sink purposes. I'm in class right now, College student here

I'm sure the reverse light is bright, but I'm not sure it blends with the whole assemply. If the tail lamps were LED as well, I'm sure I would feel it worked well as a whole.
Just my thought.

The blinkers will be L.E.D as well i have to find a way to install them. It's a little more complex. I have them on hand just haven't been able to put them on.
I also have Xenon fog lights on hand that i have to install.
