LED License Plate Bulbs

Who here does it and why?

It only makes your plates more visible at night to cops and everybody else.

LED's look better than the shitty halogen bulbs.

Plus, if you have a dimly lit or not lit at all plate, a cop will definitely pull you over.

If you fly by a cop in the opposing direction or in the same direction for that matter, he wont see your plate no matter how bright it is.

^^^This.

Newsflash to the "see your plates more easily crowd" - police vehicles have these "new" devices on them called SPOTLIGHTS; they'll see your plate no matter what if they want to.

One of his points was that a "cop could see it better." If he's behind you at a red light, he's going to see it even if you had no light on it. If you're passing him at any speed, he wont have time to see it regardless of how bright the light is.

Is it bad that I've thought about adding a bulb so it's even brighter ? My buddies A4 Ultrasport has 2 light sockets I only have 1 puny one , if there was 10 it would look like I had a reverse headlight
