Just wondering which license plate LEDs you guys recommend?

I know what's out there but I'm looking for something that isn't overly bright. I'd prefer something that is about the same brightness as stock BMW LEDs.

Easy install and no errors as well.

Why not get a set of stock license plate LED's from the LCI range? Bruce has the cables that stop the flickering.
This is the best option in my opinion.

I thought the Bruce cables were for LCI tail lights? not license plate LED's?

I would look into the new RD License Plate Housings which are complete housing replacements with built in LEDs. They are also error free and PnP.

We've had very good success with the V4 - no errors and bright, clean, strong light.

That's what I have and they work great. I haven't had any error messages at all. If you want them bright, these will definitely fit the bill.

Brightness isn't my biggest concern. I don't want to highlight my license plate that much! I'm looking for something that will be easy to install and no error messages. It seems like the ones that come in a housing would be easier to install?

Installation wise, they're all pretty much the same. Very simple plug-n-play.

I looked at ordering your LED's but the shipping to Toronto, Canada is $26!! That's more than the cost of the LED's themselves!! That seems like a lot for 6-10 days for tiny LED's....?
