Default BMW e46 problem
On my other Halfs Beemer the number plate lights do not work I have fitted new bulbs and checked all the fuses in the glove box and they are all fine

A couple of days after fitting the bulbs the they started to work but now they have given up again so any ideas guys

The bulb holders have probably corroded / burned out, had that on mine...

Its a known issue for the bulb contacts to corrode on an E46. New item from stealer is circa £60.
