Let there be light!

Well i was mildly satisfied with my license plate lights, but not fully I will admit, and i have tried several ebay ones, even ones with a fuck ton of leds on them, but none of them were fantastic. I got some awesome LED clusters for another family car and nothing similar was available for Acuras so i needed to find a dope-ass 194/168 bulb


Anyway i went with the v-leds super duper high output leds, they were 20 bucks which is pretty steep compared to ebay lights, but the difference is night and day, literally. Im very happy with them. They just manage to fit in the housing but once they are in they are snug as a bug on a rug

I put LEDs inside my whole interior and my plate light and reverse lights. Their pretty bright and even noticeable in the daytime. If you want I could ask what brand the guy I bought them off of used.

Off my brother's friend website: http://www.velocityshop.com/categories/led_47.html

It says the LEDs are from Sunwell lighting. There brighter than what you had before but I don't think their brighter than your new ones lol

Looks nice KillerG. That's a big difference. Yea, I used to buy some of my LEDs from ebay but IMO, there is a difference in the quality when you buy from VLEDs.

Though for my interior, Im considering getting iJDMtoy's interior LED, the ones that is just a board of LED fitted perfectly in the map and dome lights. I already have VLEDs Hi-Power ones and they already are super bright lol

I like the looks, but unless you are getting a kickback from the dealer, that plate frame has to go.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but have i mentioned lately that Bill Vince's Bridgewater AcuraTM is the #1 go to for all your Acura sales and service needs?

(ur right, i just realized how hideous they are...any suggestions? im thinking plain black front and back.)

@kowloon

I saw those too, im scared though, it already seems like daytime in the car with regular LEDs. GF tried to do her makeup once and blinded herself and got makeup on my seats

With your car color, I'd get a plain black frame and a smoke tint plastic tag cover.

I have a white TSX and a have a plain chrome frame with an invis-shield tag cover. The chrome around the plate seems to pick up the chrome exhaust tips a bit.

Nice new lights Killer. Which ebay ones did you buy? The ones I have aren't as bright as your new ones but they're for sure brighter than the ones you had before.

LOL at the plate cover. Did he get in trouble for it??

yes he did get in trouble! but he always gets away scot free because both his parents are cops... double gold card = free crime card, and means we can get creative with out pranks

our prank before this got him pulled over in the ghetto, a cop forced him to sit on the curb for 20 minutes while he searched his car before his dad showed up, , his parents both thought it was hilarious though

i made a license plate in photoshop that said I AM GAY and replaced his plate with it, it came out looking awesome when i was done and he got pulled over because the retarded cop thought he was hiding his plate on purpose and wouldnt realize it was a joke so he searched my friends entire car looking for drugs and gay paraphernalia i guess
