ive seen a few people using these led festoon bulbs to light up the rear registration plate, think they come standard on the new beamers to and am thinking about putting some in mine. think they look quite smart. has anyone put these led bulbs into there car yet and if so do you need the canbus specific ones like you do with the side lights?

heres a picture of the difference between the bulbs

ive seen quite a lot of new bmw's with them in now, thats whats made me want to get some for my car so i would have thought it was road legal otherwise i wouldnt see bmw doing it. i guess if you wanted to be sure that the ones you get are road legal you could just get the bmw ones if they work ok with the canbus.

the bulb holders are really easy to take out. just a few screws and then you might need something flat and thin just to pull them down slightly.
