Im pretty sure the only option available is to change the bulb in the existing unit for a LED one, theres loads on ebay, its the festoon type you need.

I already have a bulb installed, but its not giving me the expected result, and its kind of blueish.

Thats what i am looking for

Have a look at this, ebay item number is 120665552599, looks like a fair bit of wiring involved though.

These look a really good item and error free.bonus.
:funk:
Looks like they plug and play too.You prob just need to hide away the extra bits I would say.
At 20 quid not overly expensive too.

I have tried 4 different festoon bulbs in the rear bumper for the numberplate lights.

Various prices from £1 each up to £10 each.

None have yet lasted more than 4 months.

Until I find a reliable version I will be sticking with the OEM bulbs.

Has anyone got a picture of these fitted and on....?




This is a festoon bulb, it looks blue-ish rather than white-ish. I dont like its result.

I think the ones i posted earlier are reliable, but costly.
