I just installed my LED licence plate light and it was fine at first but now it says that left licence plate lamp malfunction..
I bought them from brabusw209amg and no one has had errors with his light im the only one..
Any idea what it can be? One more thing its not on always just once in a while, like today i drove my car 5 different times and the error came on twice

I ordered mine form eBay. And fortunately, no error messages since installation.
Been error free since 9/8/2008.
No resistors necessary, just plug-and-play.

Installed the resistors on brabusw's plate led's and no more error messages! 2 dollars for the 2 pack, 10 second installation = no more errors. Worth it, that thing annoys me. Goto your local radio shack and buy them rather than getting them online. they have them in stock.

good to hear that everything was resolved. sorry i wasnt able to reply sooner. had been really busy.
BTW, if u do not have resistors and an error message comes on, just turn your headlight to another setting BESIDES off. If ur on auto, turn to on and vice versa and the message will go away. I get the message from time to time but it goes away in seconds.

Why would anyone want to light the the rear licenses plate? 
But it's about the electrical resistance, the iDrive "reads" it from the electrical source,
changes will be shown as a malfunction.
