LED bulbs for number plate

Hello all

One of the LED bulbs in my number plate light is flickering, so I’ll replace. I’ve searched online for the LED W5W bulb and sites such as Halfords and Eurocarparts are saying that the Osram and Bosch bulbs are for internal use or off road use only! Where do you get the ‘legal’ ones from? Thanks, Peter.

I'm not sure that there are "road legal" LED number plate lamp bulbs?

In any event the less illumination my number plate gets the better Whistle

I'll watch this thread with interest.

To get led like, but not led, you can get Osram Cool Blue Intense W5W.

You might be better going for something like this rather than faffing around with new bulbs etc..

I've had good success with the 'filament style' W5W bulbs, better spread of light than most other LED bulbs.

This sort of thing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175194735792

Virtually all LED bulb replacements are sold as non road legal/interior use only as they are not type approved with lamps that use a traditional filament bulb. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

Can't see the logic in making the car's number plate even easier to read! Visitor - Freelander owner

If it not eliminated or a bulb is not working continuously it’s illegal and an MOT failure even if you have two bulbs and one is faulty, main stealer wanted £60 to change mine Shocked and then said they could not do it as it was fitted with a none standard (led) bulb. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I would fit the standard (non LED) bulbs. I can’t remember the last time I had to change one on any of my cars. Thumbs Up 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
