i was wondering which bulb do some of you guys use and from which site? pics would be greatly appreciated

 

I believe it's 194. You can order them from autolumination.com, superbrightleds.com, ebay, etc.

 

 

The 10$ 1 sdm led's with the aluminum shell from superbrightleds.com (i think thats where i got them, if not, then autolumination.com) it's friggin bright, even though it says on the packaging not to use in enclosed headlights... w/e

 

yes 194 or 168 will work.

or you can go custom like mine:

 

whats the point of doing this?
so cops and other bad people can see your plate number more easily?

 

i have a 194 its the same ones that go in your door. Thats what I used hyperwhite or super white one of those

 

Another option is using cold cathodes if you're going to go custom. They're available at Oznium.com or any computer modding place (eg: Fry's).

 

nice. i think i'll go with the 194

 

so what if they see my plate numbers more easily? my car isn't stolen and if the cops really wanted to get me, a normal license plate bulb wouldn't stop them from pulling me over. plus it really adds a nice touch to the car

 

I just installed mine this week - no pics, but I like it a lot. Looks nice. I always liked the new look of the Lexus with the LED plate light. I think it looks very clean!! I got mine from superlumination or something.

so if i get 3 orders of the door courtesy lights, i can use the third pair for the license plate and trunk light correct? since it comes in pairs.

 

yes

 

dont make it too bright, cops hate this kinda mod. My mom got a warning one time lol

 

duly noted

 

Its not too bright, i was going for more even lighting across the rear plate more than brightness. Im replacing this one, some LEDs are burnt, gonna drop in a 5W luxeon <-now thats gonna be bright!

 

I stuck in a blue 194 bulb I had laying around in the trunk in the tag light tonight until my LED comes in. I ordered it tonight.

 

Just installed mine today!

 

sick dude real bright im lovin it

 

Here are a couple pics of my LEDs. I got them from v-leds.

 

For my application I think your set up would work better. I've already replaced the OE bulb w/ a "bright" LED but because I've got a license plate mounted back up camera, it blocks some of the light in the middle. I need something that has some nice bright light straight accross.

I'm no photog so I don't know how to take a good night pic, but I can take a pic of the camera so you guys (hopefully) get a visual of what I'm trying to explain....

 

12 LEDs 921 bulb from superbrightleds.com

 

Got a link you can share for this exact bulb..this is the look i want

 

These (and the WLED-9) will start to flicker sooner or later. Go with the SuperNova (has a heatsheild) and seems to last a LOT longer without flicker.

 

Ok, slightly OT but what kind of taillight bulbs you got..seems like the running lights are hella bright..or are your brakes on and the third brakelight is out

 

I just turned my parking lights on, so I didn't have the brakes applied. I have no idea what bulbs are in the tails, they were in there when I got the car. If you want me to I can check and see.

azn_xxxs, ur mom upgraded her license plate bulb to LED? Thats off the hook

 

I just got mine from ledautomotive.com, the plate led is dumby bright, it reflects onto the pavement and I actually dnt really like that. Is there a way of stoping that? anyone know?

 

Anybody else have pics of this done

 

Mine is "Super White" but it came out lookin kinda purplish. It still looks good but it doesn't really match the interior lights.

 

Yes its 194 and get atleast 5 led one to brighten it up

 

For this vendor, one order comes in pairs? One order is for the license plate? then 2 more orders for door courtesy lights? Is this correct?

 

Get the 5 led wedge from autolumination.com 194

 

is that site legit? so i need to order two of those just for the license plate... right?

 

Yeah it's legit just really confusing to figure out and no you only need one. I just ordered one last week and put it on on friday and its epic sweet

 

you only need 1

 

New to the whole LED thing...but can you just put these straight in or does it require re-wiring. Would also be interested in doing this in the car cabin.

 

no rewiring needed to have this be done. all you need to do is order your LED from autolumination, superbrightleds, or v-leds. the light bulb part number is 194 or 168. they should be the same.

 

yeah, i love the look...they look great...
does anyone know which ones are for the reverse lights?
