Number plate lights not working.
Bmw e90 number plate lights not working.
The problem here is most likely a cracked wire going in to the boot lid.
A common problem on lots of generations of bmw models is the phenomenon of cracked wires in the loom.
Both number plate lights work.
Finally they have arrived and i installed them in under 2 minutes myself.
They are cheap i got them for 15 usd and a great small mod to.
Take the bulb back out and clean inside the bulb holder there may be some corrosion or other debris in there.

E90 e60 reverse lights or number plate lights not working.
You can see this on the right hand side of the car it will look like a black rubber concertina d tube.
There is a cable harness that runs from the main body to the bootlid.
The near side unit left hand side light and fog light work ok but no reverse light.
I will be showing you how to change the number plate lights on most bmws most e series cars are the same and i do know the e39 is the same and we will be fit.
Similar for the e46 e39.
I waited almost 3 months for these to ship from taiwan.
