Re: Wiring diagram for number plate lights

If you meter them with the lights on one should give you 12v, then switch the lights off and meter them again. The one that had 12v and the doesn't is your lights +. To find the negative take the cover off the bulb that's still working and do a continuity check between the negative side of the bulb ...

Re: Kidney Grills

Cheers for the link, but looks like they only do plain black for the 00 - 03 X5. They have a carbon grill or chrome for the newer one but not plain black  :(
