Re: LED license plate bulb -- full assemblies
You got it, I will leave mine on for hours when parked at night and there is never an issue because of the tiny draw.
MrMiata, I would be very careful with the Chinese bulbs, if you intend to have the car a while, you will spend more replacing them than you could if you ponied up for the warrantied, legitimate units.
Took me about 6 pairs to make the swap.

Mrmiata, be careful with the lights you ordered in a tail/brake light application. They look to be ~25 SMD, which may not produce enough lumens for brakes. Also, I'm sure you made sure they're dual-intensity? Keep us posted.

Just not a fan of light out indicator or modifying the wiring system to compensate... even though I would imagine the canbus - resistor feature kinda defeats "leave them on for hours" thoughts.. which is still good for me..

Re: LED license plate bulb -- full assemblies
Hmmm, I wonder if you or someone else already did the mod? Please check this link ( How to: Install 9005 bulbs in your 9006 low beam sockets ) for pictures. Its not a hard mod I did it to a few of my 4 headlight 9005/06 vehicles in the past. Good thing the XF has H7, they are the same except for being 180 out of round! Look closely enough and you'll also see the tabs of each (that lock into the base) are slightly different but they have enough 'wiggle' to them to slip em in.

Ummm, JS, I think you need to re-read from the post I replied too, and then my post. I think you misunderstood me, I tried to clarify better.
