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!
I've had these on my car for over a month with no issues.

They are great. No messing with resistors they are built right into the bulb. Go for it!

OEM is the best way to go!

I bought these from this exact guy on Ebay 2 months ago and they work perfectly with NO Idrive errors at all! They were inexpensive, easy to install and are nice and bright with no heat issues....I would order them if I were you, they work great!

OEM is not too expensive if you're considering longevity and the best looks. Here's my receipt for the parts from BMW:

This is the only picture I have of the adapter untaped. The adapter looks intimidating, but it's really not that bad once it's all taped up neatly.

Hey guys... I just order the LED License Plate bulbs from the same guy on Ebay this morning. Out the door it was about 34 dollars. Hopefully I can install them and have no error messages. They said 3-8 days till they arrive. Anyone else order these? How did it go?
