My numberplate LED's failed a while back and it happened to get noticed while it was being (majorly) serviced so the garage (Fontain) put in standard bulbs. I haven't bothered replacing them and for a rear yellow numberplate it doesn't really matter so not sure if/when I will.

Did you see the comment in my wheels thread on SRS? Someone there said you might be interested in my PF Avus 18's for winter wheels when I free them up - not yet though........
I have tried them both ways Andrew and also put a meter on them to conform the diodes are allowing flow both ways (they do out of interest, so polarity doesn't matter).

As mentioned I'll check the resistance later, but I have also been thinking along the lines of swapping to standard bulbs. Does it really matter against the yellow number plate?

I'd not seen your winter wheels thread, but I am interested. My problem is one of money right now. Do they (or will they) have winter tyres on, or is it just the wheels?
