I went with Suncoast full kit and rear plate bulbs. More expensive but everything worked and fit like a charm. No errors or issues in nearly a year.

I did this entire kit that includes license plate bulbs for a few bucks more. Everything looks and works great in my 997.2. Agree that the license plates lit in cool white looks more modern without looking ricer.

If memory serves, I bought the Hoen USA units.

I suggest getting a complete LED unit that replaces the OE housing completely. I think those tend to be a bit more reliable. Bit more of a pain to install, but then you get a sealed unit and don't have to deal with an LED bulb coming out of the holder.

Anyway, does anyone have any updates/reviews of the el-cheapo (~$20) eBay versions? I'm sure the Suncoast ($64) and Hoen ($55) versions are perfect, but not sure they're worth triple the price.
