I've searched a few auto stores and the internet......but i cant seem to find super white bulbs that will fit in the license plate light sockets.....its even hard to find stock bulbs!anybody know where i can get them?

 

We have two different approaches. I painted mine black so barely any light would be on it. Do you know what the bulb number you're looking for is?

 

They don't make "super whaite". Besides you go much higher than stock and you will melt that tiny plasitc lens.

Why on earth you would you want a super bright license plate lens anyway? So people can get your plate number because you zipped by them at 90 mph?

 

Why make it easier on the cop to write you that big phat ticket?

 

i wish my license lights where as dim as my dash lites and the super whites were behind the dash

 

i don't think the brightness of light will affect if a cop gets me or not.......and i can't drive that fast i already have points so it doesnt matter anyway....i just hate yellow light

 

You may have two problems going on. An old original bulb will not be as bright and white as a new one, so just replace them. The bulb has a BA9S base. I think most of the stock bulbs were either 3 or 4 watt (these bulbs come in 2, 3 and 4 watt.) The 4 watt bulb by Sylvania/Osram is a #3893.

Now I just looked in a catalog and I found some Halogen specialty bulbs that should fit without modification. How does 20 watts sound? That would be super bright and white. But you would be dripping hot plastic on your bumper in about 10 minutes.

Your other problem is your plastic lens may be yellowing with age - you will have to replace them if they are and this bothers you.

 

Yea but it just might help at one of those photo intersections - they typically have a strobe or flash, but I don't know - maybe (just maybe) it'd make the difference between getting ticketed and not. . .

 

since were on this topic does anyone know if the dealership is the only place to get the stock bulbs, b/c every place i go to the bulb that matches up on their comp. is too big. and parts for the dealership is closed after 1 so im sol

 

Just call around and get the bulb # I posted. I know that will fit just fine.

 

Autozone should have them. The one by my house has a good selection of eruopean bulbs...Funny amps and all.....
