I need some advise/help on replacing 4 x W5W bulbs on my wife's 1 Series.
2 in the rear number plate and 2 in the main headlight that act as the side light.
So ideally I'd like them to replicate a similar light pattern to the original bulb type (spread all round, rather than a single forward facing LED).
Do any of you have links/advice on any tried and tested options. Currently I've just done an error free search on eBay. :hmmm:

Don't know if any of these are any good, worth a look.
