W5W LED Replacements

Post by Sanj » Mon Apr 15, 2013 5:22 pm

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:

Love the way the second one clearly promotes the '7 month guarantee'

Odd number don't you think?
