I've seen people post pics of LED's and they were either too bright, or too dim. I have PIAA super white wedge bulbs and they are bright as hell. If you really want LED's, I'd suggest doing white, you don't want to get pulled over for having a red or blue license plate glow. If you want led's, I use

I have PIAA super whites in all my corners, tails, license plate, and front tops and bottoms. I did buy some 4 led wedge bulbs from that site though, they're bright as hell too, I just like the super whites better

My theme is green, but I wouldn't do exterior or corners with them. I did have underbodies, but ripped them off. My whole interior is green led's though

Hey, ok im about to swap my exterior bulbs over to LED. Do I just figure out what bulb # the incondecent bulb is and then pair it up with the LED that fits that bulb #? (I dont know shit about LEDS) Do I need a certian brightness? (say for the sidemarkers & turnsignal) What about the LED degree angle? Do I need like a 180-360 degree led bulb for the sidemarkers and turnsignal?

I know some searching will find me bulb #'s and some info, but is there a website that explains LED's and what type (brightness/angle etc.) you need for each application?

Also, with replacing the exterior bulbs to LED, do they just plug in or do u need to add resistors and sodder and stuff? (cuz i have nooo clue about anything electrical...i need to go to a book store and do some reading)

I made a DIY post about this.

I even have the recommended type of bulb for people to lazy/poor to try out different types themselves. Please post any additional questions in that thread.

I meant all my interior lights and gauges. I have all interiors green LED's. Make sure you search about the gauge cluster if you're gonna be replacing the bulbls, there's a film you would want to remove in order for the blue to really shine through.

why would you guys want brighter LED's in your license plate? all it does is allow popos to see your plate better, stalkers follow you easier, and for unwanted people to memorize your license plate better and follow you afterwards -_-
