Default Led license plate upgrade!.!.

I just got these in the mail today, I highly recommend them, their built in and very bright white LEDs, direct fit, just take off the trunk liner, remove your old blurry ones, and pop these new ones in and connect!! A lot better than those cloudy ones I had....

I used to have the exact same lights. Those are CRAZY bright!. In my honest opinion I think they were a little too bright

Here's a pic of them on my car. (Much brighter in person) They dont look that crazy bright in my photo. But you could see it from space LOL. I recently changed them to a different brand that still looks white but just not as bright.


1SWTGS also installed them on his car. He posted a quick vid on Youtube. This gives you a much better idea how bright they actually are.

I ordered the same as the op for my IS300. They're definitely bright and I love them, the only down fall is everyone can see your license plate # from a mile away..I plan on getting them for my GS.
