I buffed my headlights & got them looking brand new so I decided to replace the low/high beam bulbs & put in some Sylvania Silver Star Ultras....what a difference!! Im not ever goingg to put HID lights but i figured LED lights to brighten up the license plate would compliment the new white headlights I need some help though.......



- do I need a particular size bulb?

- i used v-leds.com for my old car and went with this kind

it sucks that there sold out because those bulbs were real good. i just want good quality lights that will last long & are bright. any other type recommendations?

- will it look dumb to have bright LED's in the back if I dont have HID up front? anyone have pictures of their cars from behind with the led showing?

cool white leds will not look good even with hids (unless you have 10000k or something). stick with a stock type bulb or do warm white leds. i wired my own with ledsupply.com warm white 5mm leds. 3 leds per side, using less than 1/2w instead of 5w. looks just like stock too, less attention and rice.





if you must have the cool white look, osram makes some 6000k led bulbs in 194 size you can use. they are way too bright for plate tho almost 100 lumens compared to stock 35 lumens.





when i had 5400k hid bulbs, i made another plate light with nichia superflux leds. same thing with being overly bright, but color was more of a 5000k. looks nice but gets too many looks.

Don't **** with your license plate bulbs. You're just asking to get pulled over.

how is using a brighter whiter LED bulb going to get you pulled over because the cops can see your plates better ???

if you have blue tint its illegal. white leds are actually just blue led with a coating. so the cool white many of the cheaper bulbs have blue in them. i dont know why anyone would care about the color anyway, other than to stand out. nobody else on the road cares about the color of your lights. now if you want leds for power savings, that can be understood and why i went with the warm white leds.

does everyone agree with gearbox?? i like how the white LED looks on license plates I just hate the stock, worn out yellow bulb look. it looks cheap and "dead" to me...

I got 2 new white LEDs put in a few weeks ago ans love them. Much better than the cheap yellow stock lights that make our car look even older than it already is. With LED lights it makes our car look a bit more up to date

I have blue LEDs for my map and dome lights but thinking about going back to white LED cause im wondering if its too ricey and people think it comes off as cheap or childish. They look very cool at night though, a lot of ppl will stare.

I can second that. I tried green and red (different times) in my last Civic and I loved the way it looked when I unlocked the car with the fob. Lots of people took a second look at it.

That said, it wasn't clean or stylish.. it was definitely ricey.
