What number plate lights do I have?

The reason I need to know is one is dead and the other has a snapped tab meaning they are both useless! they are led's too. I can't see that you can prise the clear cover off to get to the bulb either????
The connector on the right is the one that hooks them up and the wiring block is stamped BMW but nothing on these apart from that date sticker.

Cheers.

After what seems like hours of investigating I have these ebay specials.

If they are OEM BMW they will have a part number cast in them. The standard ones are parts 7 & 8

They were definitely the ones in the ebay ad. In fact they are already fitted and looking good

I took the time to de-crust the rusty crud in the aperture, treat it with kurust and a coat of waxoyl before the new ones were snapped back in place. I gather this is common, my standard m3 had a similar issue here.
