Take a look at these license plate LEDs. They look like OEM, they also seem to have a resistor in their wiring

Yes, it is BMW OEM license plate LED's and there is a resistor in the wiring. Expensive but No Error Message in I-Drive and I like the Wiring. OEM is the best.

Where did you order those LED's from? The link does not work. My led's give an error once in awhile and it's starting to annoy me!

Try adding high watts resistors, I have an higher resistor for awhile now and no error messages. Try that!

I'll try to get some photo's of the resistors over this week if i can pry the resistors out from the trunk cause i double sided the resistor to the inner sides of the trunk. I'll post pictures sometime this week so keep an eye out for it.

I did the resistor thing.. Got them for 2 dollars from Radio Shack.
BUT... i took them out beacuse I got afriad of heat issues. They get REALLY REALLY hot in that small area.
