I used a little carbide bit on my mini grinding tool thingy

Face lift if you wanna fit any LED parks thats giving bulb error, just put an 470 ohm resistor in Parrallel to eliminate the bulb error in your parks

How big is that resistor and how hot does it get?

The led number plate lights are awesome. Very bright and white.

I have ones I have moded for more than 1 Year now and its a normal 1/4 watt resistor and they dont get to hot. they good for 12 to 14 volts and wont burn out.

For Info
LED's you have to watch because you get lots of differint LED's with tempreture tollerances and Voltage tollerances and if you install ones that cant tollerate the headlight heat they dont last long

Can you upload a photo of the resistor that you used for the park lights.

Think some of the LEDs I got were not the best. Won't be ordering them again.. Think the can't tolerate the heat inside the headlight housing.

its a normal 1/4 watt 470ohm resistor you buy at any electronic shop. the LED's is the ones you have to look out for that cant hanle the heat.
Always check spec of LED's when you buy them. www.mantech.co.za they give specs with there LED's. So if you have blown Park LED's dont throw them away keep the housing and throw away the old LED's and replace them with better ones

Are e36 LED Number plate lights still going?

Actually, that and all the interior lights?

E36 fog and park LED's?
