194 is the bulb size.

I have Pure White WLED-WHP bulbs from SuperBrightLEDs: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...t=CAR#WLED-x-x

They are pretty bright, but I am thinking of going a little brighter. All of my interior bulbs are from V-LED's. Probably going with these instead: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p4481133.html

Here is a great DIY if you need it, but it is a pretty simple install:https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/licence-plate-light-back-up-light-3g-garage-g-052-a-584870/

Side note: If you use the promo code "acurazine" at checkout on v-led's you get 15% off your order.

V-LED's are bright. I've only had them in for a few days so I can't personally vouch for their longevity, but they seem to be a very popular brand on the boards. They are white as well, not blue. I have a Type-S, so this was something I was very particular about since I didn't want blue hues with my red lighting. Both the V'Led's and SuperbrightLED's were white as advertised.

The link provided will work for your License Plate as well. The bulbs are very interchangeable on the TL as long as you know the direction of the socket. The LP socket is downward facing, so standard wedge bulbs will be fine.
