So Im definately digging the facelift E90's numberplate LEDs. How would I go about upgrading mines ?Is it just a straight swop. I'm assuming it will come with some sort of kit with resistors etc ?

Anyone know where I can source it from ?

there isnt a retrofit kit available yet from the dealers, but they might release it

Watch out for the aftermarket bulbs for e90.

1. They cause errors. I know only of 2 brands that dont

2. Some are far too bright! Dnt know why they would want your number plate lights brighter than oem

Just as a matter of interest,
I am importing a large variety of e90, e92 parts, and may include these bulbs.
The shipment will be finalised nxt wk.. Any1 looking for something particular, let me know.. E46 incl.

BTW, would installing LED interior lights cause errors? I tried the park lights, but to solder those little resistors into the system was a ball ache, so I went back to the old yellow looking ones! I would dig the LED no. plate lights as well as the ones below the door handle, like on the 335i! It looks uber cool when you unlock the doors at night and the area next to the front door is lit up! I'm sure some electronic wizzard could design a simple little circuit like that and just tie it into the dome light circuit. I've had a look at the bottom of the door handle and with some clever drilling, one could easily fit 3 or 4 bright white LED's in there, without making it look like a "Boksburg special", wiff neons underneaf! :facepalm:

Ok, on E46fanatics forum? Did they give instructions? What are "puddle lights" do they go underneath the door? Why is the sky blue.....:)

The sky is blue because it was painted that way :)
