All about LED's!

Hey all

Been around here awhile but still haven't found the ability to navigate. Any LED gods here that can help me out is greatly appreciated!

I have a pretty stock Acura '06 TL in AM. I've recently ordered interior 9-LED's in white for the maps, vanity, console, glove, and trunk. I've found the thread w/ pics detailing how to install those, but cannot find any information for installing reverse LED's/license plate LED's. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, I'm interested in putting a blue LED illumination where the ACURA footwell's are by the doors. Is there a worklog somewhere around the forums?

Thanks in advance. Cheers

search and personal experience with license leds, it was EASY you might have some trouble taking the clip out that holds the light bulb itself but you just have to push it at a right angle thas all.

some easy hints that i found on using search to take the bulbs out is to wrap some regular plain tape around the bulb and leave a little loop to pull it out and they pop right off.

I know everyone always states "Kennedy's Post #7" but has that been updated lately? The post dates back to Feb 2008... With LED technology improving every day are these still the best bulbs to recommended? Any flickering???

i've been using Kennedy's recommendation from close to a year now, except recently i ran into my into finding the perfect license plate led cause my superNova's went out. iono if its the connection or it just died...heads up if you order from Superlumination/Autolumination(same site, same Warehouse) their Supernova's come in a White with yellow halo or White with a Blue halo. given i reorder the one from them and gotten the White w/yellow halo (Ew) TWICE! so instead went to v-leds and got their 6k rated led similar to that of the Supernovas.
