Upgrade number plate bulbs

Hi does anyone know of any error free upgrade of number plate bulbs as the std ones are a bit too yellow and letting the side down?

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul.

You will need to go down the oem route I'm afraid, that's not all, I will need to build you a plug and play loom with a dummy bulb in it to cancel the error as you have the odd body control module so it won't let you have the LEDs and you won't be able to recode the module either.

The lamps which are oem audi from the 2012 R8 are £29 each side (I get these from audi) 1x plug and play loom using oem connectors is £15 and postage to the uk is £4.30 which is Royal Mail signed.

If you wanted them I can have them out to you mid week once I have ordered from the dealer.

Thanks

Our man Trups fitted mine last week and is now up to date. Get the rest of the bulbs done as well whilst you're at it.
Too much power is barely enough.
