License Plate Lights

Has anyone here purchased and installed LED festoon bulbs from AutoLumination? I need to know how their 39mm festoon (presumably the 9 led) fit into the receptacle (and how it compared in size to the OEM).
Thanks...

I've used them and they are fine, but mine is an 03 E320. Also, the 39" were kind of too long, so I got 38" instead. Oh, and you need to wire resistors in order for them not to flash off and on and as to not trigger an error warning on the cluster.

C-D-P,
So did you do the 39mm, or what? What issues did you have during the install?
