So every since I got my LED license plate bulbs I've been pretty dissatisfied with them. I was told they would not error, but they flash on the i-drive constantly. It gets really damn annoying after a while, and freaks me out sometimes when it randomly chimes, because I think something else may be broken. Are there any bulbs that give _no_ errors that people can confirm? I'm probably gonna dig my old bulbs back up and throw them in. :thumbsdown:

What kind of resistors do I buy? And do you know which is the +/- on the housing?
10 watt 10 ohms for reverse lights
10 watt 6 ohms for headlights
