These don't work..

I only assume that because LED's draw so little power, the car thinks the bulb is out and no longer sends power to it? Someone correct me?

But I have definitely tried this:

If you keep one original bulb in and put one LED bulb in - then both work. I assume that the one original bulb draws enough power for both bulbs.

If you put both LED's in then both do not work (with the light warning displayed)

The only way to make an LED work is to solder something to something?! (i lost interest at this point - seems far too much hassle)

im pretty sure that the led bulbs are ok for the number plate bulbs. I just think you get problems when using them for brake lights etc. But dont quote me on this. I would also want the inside bulbs aswell like someone else has mentioned. Is there anyway someone could find this out?

We need to find out what the bmw/lexus use - whether they use LED or something else?
