+1. eBay. Make sure they are the bulbs that don't give an error code.

Understand....

and that's probably where I"ll get them. Question is, is someone a trusted vendor? There are tons of them. These aren't easy to put in the rear lid, and I don't want to do it twice with an error code.

AZN Optics/ He is on here a lot.
Replace the whole unit and not just the bulbs.
The bulbs will burn out in a year or two.
I just replaced burned out led bulbs with units from AZN in about an hour.
Be careful with the snap fits on the trunk trim

Thanks....

Yeah, that's what I did last time. They replaced the entire unit above the license plate. They looked great and the guy I sold the car to still has them in with no issues. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh, +1 to AZN. Very nice people. I ordered a set of the DRL lights, and first set blew in a week, then next set in 3 days, then yet another set in a month. He then sent me a new, brighter, better and more efficient model. No problems since. Every time a set went, he was super quick to get me another pair of bulbs. They're def. good people.
