    I never got them to work...at least the ones from OEM plus. I never heard back if they found ones that DID work correctly.

    Rich?

    I've bought a pair of white LED from a shop in Germany and they work fine.

    It's important to buy them with a built in resistor. Otherwise they wouldn't work.

    Has anyone managed to change the bulb of the luggage bay to LED. I've tried 3 different types and they all didn't work

    Hum....I wonder why the sets I tried a while back from OEM Plus didn't work then....since they were supposed to have the resistor in them.

    I am OK with the yellowish light now, so don't really want to mess with them again....unless Rich is here in Portland again one day and wants to give them a try!

    You may look at the calendar and see what days you will be driving past his shop. He is just a little off the 5. You could plan on a short visit when you go by either way.

    Re: Led of number plate (license)

    Sounds like a good idea Steve M.

    Their address is:

    OEMplus Auto Parts Plus, Inc.
    23011 Moulton Pkwy, Suite J4
    Laguna Hills, CA 92653-1233
    +1 (949) 600-6111

    I could do it on the way to meet Harry, if that works for him, and for Rich, on June 7th.

    Harry and I have temporary plans to meet around his place in the late AM or early PM. Maybe I could visit Rich either before or after and we could try the lights then!

    What do you say Rich....Harry???? OEMPlus is right off I 5, or at least close, correct, and so is Harry???

    We can see if this works out. Thanks for the suggestion Steve M!

    Anything is possible. When we get closer to D day (Canyon blasting), We may have a group of R8s meeting together. Unless Rich comes up with a fast ride I think he is out of the way. You can leave the lights with me and I can get them fixed for you. Let's hope to spend at least one morning/afternoon as an R8 GTG. RSMR8? Desparado? R84ME? SDR8? Any others?? This will be the Prelude to your Alps trip (which I am unsure of as yet).You might enjoy yourself in sunny So. Cal. (My mini Alps). \"/ Burger run thrown in of course. ALL burgers and beers on me.

    Re: Led of number plate (license)

    Thanks Harry. Hopefully Rich can chime in here. I don't "have to have 'em" for the LED license plate lights. It was just funny that I could never get them working! I forgot, Rich has an R8 now....so maybe a bunch of us can meet and do a run in the canyon and grab lunch as you suggest!

    Let's talk about it soon...since I need to hit the road north in the PM of June 7th. I've got to back in Portland late on the 8th!

    I fly out early on the 17th for my London visit and then the Alps!

    Getting ready will be interesting. I need to stuff a month's worth of things in 2 carry-on bags. They also need to fit in Ian's R8....how about if we rent a hitch Ian and drag a cart along with us????

    Same here - same problem - changed all the bulbs (in the doors, glove compartment, overhead lights, number plates - but that one always eluded me!

    ok, so the consensus is that no one in NA have LED's for the rear plates yet?

    I would buy from that European site, but i don't understand it.
