New LED license plate lights
I had some 3w 120 lumen LED's laying around. So, I decided why not use them for my license plate lights.
Next, I'm going to get some Cree 10w 1,300 lumen LED's to use as reverse lights, and rig them to a toggle switch to flash people that ride my ass. That ought to give them a bit of a surprise considering a 9006 bulb puts out 1,400 lumen.

I just noticed today when I opened my trunk that the hot glue I used to cover all the solder pads and wires is actually starting to melt when I drive for a while at night.

Looks great! 
I would remove the CF license plate frame though. It clashes with the horizontal stripes in the plastic behind the plate

I wish I would have ordered more. They were only $4.60 each. I ordered them for my nephew's quad to replace the crappy headlight, but now I wish I had some more to use in my dome lights.

Dude, I know your name on Acurazine is CarbonFiber and usually, being the carbon fiber whore that I am, I would applaud your carbon fiber license plate. But I think I agree with Tyler (CLtotheTL) on this one.
The pattern does clash. Otherwise, everything looks good.

Thanks guys,
I used to have some dim Radioshack smd LED's in there, but at least they were the nice "cool" white. I absolutely hate "warm" light. All my CFL's are at least 5000k. To me personally it's looks better because it's literally more natural like sunlight.

I was literally looking at the plate frame when you posted. I'm just not sure I like how there's no screw holes on the bottom, and it looks like it might cover up the Palm Beach county on my FL plate, or does it ride along the little lip the goes all the way around the plate?
