The on-board ECU is checking every damn thing down to the tail license plate lights. If we fit in a set of low wattage LED bulbs for our license plate lights, an alarm will trigger to signify their's a fault as irregular power consumption is detected (maybe a bulb failure). The retrofit license plate LED lights kit comes with a resistor to increase the wattage of the fittings to make the LED to consume more wattage as a conventional bulb to fool the on-board computer.. see how troublesome it gets!?And a warning to those DIY fanatics, do not poke your test light around in an E90, it will deploy the airbags!! Use a proper voltmeter instead!</blockquote>
