Hi guys, done a bit of searching around on the internets and here for my very small, cosmetic annoyance problem.

One of the lights situated right next to the number plate on my 2000 GT-T is severely cracked and they are both that crappy yellowy colour, they are also pretty big.

Was wondering if someone could suggest a place I could get replacements, even a darker shade/smokey as my paint, rims ect are black.

Such a small thing but a thing nonetheless

General auto shop? SuperCheap, Sprint, etc.

I believe they are a T10 size bulb.

if not try the eBay. There's complete LED conversion kits for almost all lighting in the car.

Yep all you will need is 2x T10 bulbs. I did the same to my R34 several months ago, super easy replacement and the white light improves the overall look of the car at night.

Look on eBay as you can get them for $4-$6 delivered locally.

Just be aware that alot of the led bulbs out there are not true 12-16v and are only 12v and will burn out or flicker within a few months.

I actually went to fit these the other day, and the two lights directly left and right of the rear plate aren't working and I can't figure out why for the life of me.

The light directly above however does work... weird?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
