I am looking for this exact bulb. vled.com sells them but do not have any in stock and it looks like they may not for a little while. Where can i get or what websites will carry this exact bulb. Must be 6k not just white. Need the blue tint.

i m actually planning to get a pair of these but i wanna know that whether this size will break or not because I realized our bulb connector to the lamp cover is somewhat angled....i bought something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/200501086058...84.m1497.l2649
and it broke the same night due to the angle shape, so i ended up getting something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/200579395836...84.m1497.l2649
it fits perfectly and did not break....however it isn't bright enough, i want something that will light up both the bumper and the ground.....(still searching for one..)

Way better than the 5 LED ones; I use those 5 LED ones for my doors.

Sorry, there isn't a way to turn on just your license plate lights without the parking lights

spaceboy

oh yeah...my bad...completely forgot about that...i think i will give this a try.

here is what mine looked like with those lights from V-LED. They don't look as bright as they should be because the lens is very dirty and I haven't cleaned it yet.

lilusadude

both lights

^^yeah how do you take off the lens anyway...from the inside or outside? i m thinking to clean them too

You don't have to take off the lens.

You can replace the bulbs through the inside by removing the trunk liner.

To clean the lens, just wash your car and make sure you hit up the lens too.

Get what GP16 has...

this is what i m thinking, dunno if anyone here has done it before...i am thinking to put a LED strip on top of the license plate where it will stick to the cover lens and route the wire to the power connector where we normally connect the bulb to...what do u guys think? will it look good?

i've seen this "strip" on a mini van (odyssey)...looked kinda stupid. BUT it is your car. try it. if it looks bad...you can always take it off.

spaceboy

well i was thinking just kinda hide it by sticking the strip on the cover lens so ppl can only see the light not the strip.....

OR

keep my current LED bulbs and take off the cover lens???

My buddy and myself did that, he is still running the strip but you can't see it. I ended up doing CCFL on the TL, and I'm currently trying to piece something together for my 6.

spaceboy

what is the length of the strip that you got to fit perfectly on top of the license plate? got any link or pix??

Let me text him and ask him what size did he buy. I may have a pic i'll post it up soon.

spaceboy

the last concern i have before start doing it is connecting the power, is it safe to just connect the wire from the strip directly into the power connector or do i have other choices??

yep just got the email from v leds and the bulbs i was looking for are now in stock. I have something similar to them and i love them. Just looking for a bluish tint so i am going with the 6k.
Thanks
