Same here, I replaced my plate lights with LEDs bulbs months ago and haven't had any issues. No harness used.
Good luck with the sale

I'm sure your LED bulbs has a resistor built into them to avoid setting off a error
The ones on the '08 and up E90/92 has LED's built into the housing and BMW deleted the code on checking the resistance of the plate lamps due to the LED's installed.

Just to make it clear, this is for those who have halogen plate lamps as standard on the car and want to convert to the OEM plate LED's that BMW currently puts on '08 and up E90/92's.

Here are pictures of my car with aftermarket LED versus OEM BMW LED. NOTICE the difference.

***even the aftermarket LED's (like the ones I have) with the built in resistors do give off a small amount of heat as well

Aren't these the same as knightcom was selling, the pictures similar. Same comments - why not use OEM plugs and that resistor will get too hot for no real reason.
But otherwise good luck with the sale, it looks like a good product.
