Hey guys. Just want to make sure on something. License plate LEDs are legal correct? Also, who has the best ones? (no errors and good fitment)
Thanks for any help...

I got mine from trinity.
Great stuff.
Tho, I get an error in the right one, sometimes it stays for a few mins, but usually it goes within 10 seconds.

No, I'm serious. The LED Festoons with the Radio Shack resistors are the brightest and the best. They are also the cheapest.
You have an M5 and an X5 both fully loaded and upgraded!
