The Wife stole the car for the weekend run to the beach...
She called me to say she is geting an error code after each start up about one of the Lic plate lights being out.
It goes away, funning thing is I drove it last night with no problems...

Car must be telling her it does not like her...
I really did not want her driving it either...

I got to wait for her to get home to take a look at the LCD issue....

I just bought the ones on ebay too...but I wonder if these are better. For all you members outside of North America, they might be willing to ship to you if the ebay guy isn't

Am about to jump the gun on these off ebay but I'd like your opinions first.

I know there's a risk that it may not work properly so if any of you guys have tried this specific product and are successful with error free codes let me know. I think it will look great on my AW ride!

Got them in the mail from Jcool today.
When you get the error message, just turn the LEDs and the error will dissapear.
This is one of the easiest mods, even for me without any knowledge of lights.
So I installed them directly, took me 5 minutes.
And yes it does look 'cool' in the dark

No just bulbs on the 08's

Also the Error code that was on there eariler has gone away now according to the wife.

LIC bulbs or LED are not that hard to install, you just need like 2-5 mins and a flat head screw driver.
