Ok, so i got a little bored and started to play around my with my car and see small mods i can do. So then i went to the license plate light and saw that it might look good with some color to it, so i put a blue bulb in and it looks alot better than the original light, this maybe a little ricey, but i think it looks good.

 

I did the same type of thing, But I just colored the existing bulb with blue permanent marker. Lost it's blueness, but has a nice green to it now. Makes a noticeable difference at night.

 

Just be careful a cop doesn't follow you from behind.

 

is it illegal?

 

I have xeon 168 bulb on my car for the longest time. No issue whatsoever. The light is hidden behind the bumper anyway. Also my licence plate cover is blue. Looks quite nice at night. Even the pavement below the bumper got lit up

 

i'd be careful about that if i were you guys. i changed my bulbs for the license plate to red to match my brake and signaling lights and i was pulled over by the cops. they then informed me that changing the lights there is one way for gangs to distinguish each other.

 

I've been using a hyperwhite license plate bulb since I bought the car and its a really nice simple and CHEAP mod!!

As for cops, I've never had any problems with them. I don't suspect you should have problems, I mean the bulb only makes the plate MORE visible!

 

ya it does look pretty sweet.

 

Don't know about that...in my town, that's illegal. My friend got 4 tickets for having a green light on the back where the license plate is. He's an idiot for not getting around to change them, lol! rayman009(2), I'd be very careful, you will most likely get a ticket for them. Ties in with impersonating a cop.

 

any colors except for RED, ORANGE, CLEAR, is an illegal on the back.

But never seen anyone got pulled over for license lamp, though.

 

So hyperwhite, shouldnt be a problem?

 

what the fine for having a blue license lamp?

 

Hyperwhite is fine but i would stay away from colors like green, blue, and red just askin for trouble.

 

It will probably $10 fix ticket. I am sure.

 

In MA this would be a $300 ticket. Ouch!!

 

That's not driving violation, isn't it? That sounds unfair~

 

Yup. Displaying blue lights (any kind, any place) without a permit = $300 fine. If you're using them to impersonate a police officer, it's a criminal offense on top of the $300 civil infraction. Same goes for those blue (or red) washer nozzle lights--$300.

 

I think it's illegal in NC, but my GF has them (washer nozzle lights) and no biggie(yet).

I might change my license plate bulbs to PIAA super/XTRA/Xtreme/Plasma bulbs, since I have some lying around.

I wonder what they will look like?

Does anyone have pictures?

 

i have the hyper whites on my plates and they are a difference

only if i could attach pics i would...but i cant... if some one wants to upload it on the net for me email me, and u can see my amazing plates...

they look INSANE...especially with my custom number...

so someone give me a e mail addy and i'll send u the pic for u to upload..then someone can post it here for everone too see it...

 

LOL

 

man sucks to live in Western MA, man i wonder how much a speeding tix would be 1000.00?

 

umm... they are just license bulbs.. whas the big fuss about? people down here in LAs been doin that for ages

 

ya, that cali, cops done there don't care. I heard about cops down in cali who race while on duty. Cops up here in Seattle are such tight a$$es, maybe it's all the rain....

 

That's true!!

 

i was just thinking, and these bulbs are NOT mods, but they are only accessaries... no performance gain hehe

 

true, but they are modifications to your car, which is not stock.
