Made-To-Fit License Plate LED's: Thoughts???

Need to replace the CREE LED bulbs for my license plate and stumbled upon these:

TSX TL RL 1999 2008 LED Number License Plate Light Xenon White for Acura | eBay

Anyone have any thoughts? I know it's unnecessary, but the made-to-fit is pretty nice. The video looks pretty sweet too.

These are the same ones iJDMToy has been selling.

Direct Fit Acura TSX TL Honda Accord Civic LED License Plate Lights

(If anything, buy within your country opposed to China)

They are VERY bright.
I installed the same ones on my buddies Crosstour and they're wicked bright.
The light span on the ground is huge.

I recently had the opportunity to see, in person, what a pair of really bright LED plate lights look like.

It looks silly (to me at least). It draws unnecessary attention. I personally wouldn't do it.

I bought myself the pair linked below. It matches the cars that come stock with LED plate lights very well while still being brighter than the stock bulbs, enhancing my car's look without drawing too much attention. It isn't blue like the people who just use eBay bulbs (which eventually burn out in a short amount of time).

I bought the ones that guitarplayer posted. They are pretty bright fit nice too, that way I don't have to worry about leaks like I did when I installed the CCFL tubes.
