What is the bulb number for our licence plate bulbs i want to get some hyper white ones. plus i need to find another place for my front plate there tripping out here and saying i need to put it back on!

 

I used a 194 bulb

 

I put a hyperwhite LED on my license plate a couple months ago, here's a page with details on the lights:

I got a widefield LED that does an ok job... it lights up the entire rear plate well, but there's a noticable hot spot in the middle. Personally I'm going to be researching alternatives like maybe installing a dual LED set like you see on Lexuses so that it'll give a more even spread of light.

Don't get me wrong though, a single LED even though it has that bit of a hot spot is leaps and bounds better than the stock one, I just like everything to look as good as it possibly can.

 

I got a surface-mount LED, i like it a lot, put some light on the ground too

costed me $8+$5 shipping or a pack of two off an ebay seller.

 

VIVFTP that link didnt work. Yea i just saw a lexus with it thats what made me want to get that white. Do you have some pics of how yours looks?

 

Ah yeah, forgot you can't direct link to a specific vehicle. Here:

Just select your car from that list.

As for my car, here's a pic of it... you can see what I mean when I talk about the hot spot





My LED is very similar to TequiLas. 1 isn't enough to give a nice, even look to the whole thing, but I think 2 in a Lexus-like formation would work perfectly. That way you don't even need to go as bright with the LEDs, but I must admit I kinda to like the extreme brightness

 

See I was originally thinking about doing a mod like this:

If you look at a picture of it though, you can see that it has a similar hot spot, although it might be a bit bigger than mine:

I'm still looking into other possibilities. The dual LED approach seems like it could work, but unless someone offers a kit for it, I wouldn't know where to begin in setting that up.

 

yea i like how that looks sort of looks like the lexus kind of. i dont feel like taking the time doing that though LOL!

 

I think if u want to set it up in dual mode, u should just connect the LED's in series.

 

i just swapped in one of these http://superlumination.com/images/au...94smt_w_wm.jpg

pretty bright, lights up the ground a lil bit too

 

you can also do a cool white rod that you hook up the wires to the existing and its like a bar. check the diy

 

The problem with that is that it still creates a "hot spot" just like the LEDs, only it's a bit larger.

Now if you could do the same thing but use a rod that's as long as the entire plate bay, and maybe a bit dimmer, then that should provide a perfectly even glow over the whole thing and look absolutely perfect... I think...
