If you don't mind me asking, where did purchase your LEDs?

are these brighter than the PIAA LEDs ? Does anyone know? I have the PIAA leds and they are about half as bright as the Lexus's lights.

This is precisely why I'm reluctant to do LEDs outside the car, especially the license plate which is particularly difficult to monitor. If they only malfunction when the car is moving, you could drive around like that indefinitely and never know it (until an officer decides to kindly notify you).

I want to get white lights, but i really don't want the ground to be lit up as well... it seems to be a common theme from what i've read so far.
What would be my best bet?

well, i noticed tonight that one of my hoen plate LEDs were flickering. this sucks.
is the bulb just fried then or is it a bad connection. what a shame. the leds make the rear look pretty nice for such a small mod.

well, i finally had a chance to check out my hoen plate bulbs.
looks like the one that's flickering is just fried or something. two of the little bulbs on the top just keep flickering away no matter how many times i tried to put the bulb in or flip it around.
i'll probably just order another set and keep the extra as a spare in case another one decides to die.

i really think you should switch to the bulbs at superbrightleds.com. I myself had flickering hoens and judging from this forum, a lot of people had flickering problems with the hoens too. ive had the WLED-WHP (http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html) for the longest time now and they are still making me happy. also, the WLED-WHP are brighter AND whiter than the hoens. I cant believe i spent so much money on the hoens when the WLED-WHP were superior. just give it a try, theyre only 5 bucks each

the one with only ONE led in it.
they are awesome lights.
I use them in my Infiniti too.
in the Infiniti, they fit the doors, map lights, rear dome lights, trunk,
just about everything.
I've had them on my back plate and in my doors in my TSX for a year
now with perfect performance, oh in the trunk too.
but it's not bright enough in the trunk really.

suggestion about LED lights.
i found these on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/L-105...Q5fAccessories
its a 2pc 4led wedge bulb for the license plate.
are these good?
i also found these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-Whi...Q5fAccessories
any ideas on which one is better? i don't wan't it to be too bright, just basically the same brightness as the stock ones, but just the led light instead of the ugly yellow one thats there.
