Default license plate LED's ?

Just curious to see if anyone here has used these from ebay. I've seen plenty of ridiculous looking plate lamps. You know, the ones that could be mistaken for blue headlights.

Please let me know, as these appear to be a cut above........

I have not seen those yet, we do offer them and I can assure you that ours are not ridiculous looking. The pictures below show them installed. For more information Click Here

Those look good. Though they are much brighter. With my driving not sure I want to have that much promotion on my plate number.

Put Xenon's in there. That way it'll wash out completely on the photo radar

We have LED License Plate bulbs that have been a very popular seller at a great price. Not overly bright and just the right amount of light.

Ours are listed HERE. Check them out and shoot us an email if you have any questions:

The ones I provided the link to are complete units including the case; not just the LED bulb. They supposedly are designed to accomodate the LED bulb.

If you notice the light on the ground below the Plate, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Much too brite for me. I just want a pure white, not overly brite light; nothing like those Chevy trucks roll with

I just ordered a pair for $7. Easy to control the light by "aiming" the LEDs. On my audi I had them aimed slightly upwards so less light was being thrown.

Exactly, I have no inclinations to make my rear plate any more visible than the factory set-up.
