OEM is not too expensive if you're considering longevity and the best looks. Here's my receipt for the parts from BMW:
Attachment 48305
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?

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!

I've got led bulbs with the resistor but they strobe on startup even in A.

hmm..interesting - so no strobing on startup in light position "A" ?
I've got led bulbs with the resistor but they strobe on startup even in A.

yeah, I thought about that reading the thread, it's gonna start looking like circuit board behind there ! - this intergrated led seems like a neat solution.

Can someone post pictures of these bulbs before you install it. It would be interesting to know how they are built. They must have the resistors built into the bulbs itself.
