negb is infamous around these parts

It is the same on all cars which has ECU check for license plate bulbs and originally has incandescent bulbs.....
....but to pay ~40$ for two bulbs which goes to illuminate license plate... hmmmmm
I would rather upgrade reverse lights, on these ones I would be more then happy to spend these 40$

They have a resistor that imitates resistance of a normal bulb. Once resistance changes, car thinks it is burned out. It is pretty much same on all Porsche cars.

agreed, making it easier to read the license plate number on a fast car isn't one of my priorities

40 bucks is excessive. You can get these for under 10 bucks, search for canbus no error led bulb.
Get 5000k bulbs and they look awesome. Worth the change.
