This is really strange you post this as I ordered some LEDs last week and EXACTLY the same thing happened to one of my number plate lights!! ... all the metal contacts in the holder turned to dust.
I had ballache getting it sorted too. I phoned the stealers and explained the issue, and asked them to order new part and i'd come in to get it sorted... I sat on the phone arguing with the dealer as they wanted to see the car first 'As to diagnose the problem, so the correct parts are ordered' ..... which is a joke as its blatently obvieous what needs to be replaced.
In the end they ordered me one over phone to have fitted this week. I went into dealers on lunch to get it sorted (i took the old one in, in a plastic bag) and was told all the tech's were on lunch so couldn't be fitted. I said no worries just swap me the part as its just a simple plug + 2screws, but was told no and had to go in the next day when tech's were about because of warrenty procedure .... F*****g nightmare!!!!, makes my blood boil the stupidity of these places.
Wasn't the left hand side one was it, then would be snap!?

I've got some of these, they look really good.
Only had them in for a few days so don't know how long they will last, all seems ok right now though....
